Tweede Minderbroedersklooster, Franciscan monastery and church in Kommelkwartier, Netherlands

The Tweede Minderbroedersklooster consists of an early 18th-century church and monastery buildings situated along Minderbroedersberg street in central Maastricht.

Following the French occupation of Maastricht in 1794, the monastery complex transformed into a prison facility that operated for 170 years.

The monastery buildings reflect the architectural transitions from baroque to neoclassical styles through renovations conducted during the 19th century.

Since 1995, the former monastery serves as the administrative headquarters of Maastricht University, welcoming visitors during regular business hours.

The complex includes modern glass artworks that tell the story of its evolution from a religious institution to a prison and educational center.
