Kolleg St. Ludwig, Franciscan monastery in Vlodrop, Netherlands
The seminary building contains 600 doors and 1,200 windows beneath a 17,000 square meter roof in the Limburg region near the German border.
Built in 1909 by Franciscan brothers from Saxony, the monastery served as a friary and boarding school until 1978, educating over 3,000 male students.
The institution bears the name of Saint Louis of Toulouse, who left his royal position to become a Franciscan friar serving those in need.
The monastery stands at Station 24 in Vlodrop, adjacent to the defunct Iron Rhine railroad and surrounded by Meinweg National Park.
The Maharishi Foundation acquired the property in 1984 for $900,000, transforming it into the Maharishi European Research University campus.
