Congregation of Windesheim, Order of canons regular in Zwolle, Netherlands
The Congregation of Windesheim operates as an Augustinian religious community, focusing on monastic life and theological education within their monastery complex.
Founded in 1386 by Florens Radewyns, the congregation expanded to include 86 houses for canons and 16 nun houses across the Netherlands by the late 15th century.
Members of the congregation dedicated their time to manuscript production, education of clergy, and maintenance of extensive libraries containing religious and academic texts.
The monastery buildings incorporate separate spaces for prayer, study, communal dining, and accommodation, following traditional Augustinian architectural principles.
The congregation developed a centralized governance structure where all members reported to the Prior General, different from other autonomous religious communities of that period.
