Abdij van Sinnich, Religious monastery in Voeren, Belgium
The Abdij van Sinnich features a rectangular main building with a mansard roof, stone window frames, and a central entrance displaying the abbess coat of arms.
Founded in 1243 by Augustinian canons from Rolduc Abbey, the monastery housed a women's community that relocated from Schaarn in the Netherlands.
The monastery admitted exclusively daughters from noble families after 1703, reflecting the social structures of the Belgian nobility during the 18th century.
Located at Kasteelstraat 11, the abbey includes gardens along the Gulp River and maintains its original spring from medieval times.
The preserved Romanesque tower from the 13th century stands as the oldest remaining structure of the original monastery complex.
