Kruisherenklooster, Sint Agatha, Gothic monastery in Sint Agatha, Netherlands
The Kruisherenklooster stands along the Maas River with four wings arranged around a central cloister yard, featuring yellow limestone construction and Gothic windows.
Founded in 1371, the monastery represents one of the earliest religious settlements in the Netherlands and maintains continuous habitation by the Cistercian order.
The monastery serves as a center for religious study where monks dedicated their time to copying, binding, and illustrating manuscripts with detailed leather decorations.
Visitors can access the monastery grounds during daylight hours and observe the restoration work on the cloister walls throughout the year.
The monastery holds the distinction of being the oldest continuously inhabited religious complex in the Netherlands, marking 650 years of uninterrupted operation.
