Susteren Abbey, Benedictine abbey in Echt-Susteren, Netherlands
The former Benedictine abbey features a main church building with Romanesque architecture, constructed during the medieval period in Limburg province.
Pepin of Herstal established Susteren Abbey in 701, which served as a significant center for missionaries spreading Christianity throughout Frisia and the Netherlands.
The abbey transformed into Saint Amelberga's Basilica, housing the remains of important religious figures including Saint Wastrada and Saint Gregory of Utrecht.
Visitors can access the abbey through Susteren railway station, which connects to major cities like Maastricht and Venlo on the regional train line.
The French Revolution led to the abbey's suppression in the late 18th century, leaving only the church structure standing as a testament to its original form.
