Aduard Abbey, Cistercian monastery in Aduard, Netherlands
The stone remains of Aduard Abbey include thick walls, pointed-arch windows, and a wooden barrel vault roof within the restored infirmary section.
Founded in 1192, Aduard Abbey expanded into one of the largest monastic institutions in the northern Netherlands, housing 300 monks by the late 1400s.
The abbey school, established in 1245, attracted scholars from Northern Europe and formed an intellectual circle known as the Aduarder Kring.
The former infirmary building now functions as a Reformed church, while a museum displays archaeological findings and a model of the original complex.
The monastery produced glazed bricks marked with letters in the early 1300s, representing an early form of character stamping before printing technology.
