Sint Catharinadal, Monastery and national heritage site in Breda, Netherlands.
Sint Catharinadal features remnants of a church with seven deep bays, decorated buttresses, and natural stone window surrounds at Kloosterplein.
Founded in 1270 by Norbertine nuns in Wouw, the monastery relocated to Breda due to floods and constructed new buildings between 1498 and 1504.
The structure transformed from a religious institution to military barracks in 1645, reflecting the changing societal needs of the Netherlands.
The building maintains its military function while preserving architectural elements from its monastic past, including parts of the cloister walk.
The complex includes a double chapel design with rich masonry work and underwent an eastern expansion in 1843 with the addition of stables.
