Minderbroedersklooster, Franciscan monastery in Megen, Netherlands
The Minderbroedersklooster is a Franciscan monastery in Megen that features a chapel with Baroque characteristics and a three-sided choir arrangement. The building houses wooden altars and confessionals from the 17th century along with other liturgical furnishings.
After the fall of 's-Hertogenbosch in 1629, Franciscan friars moved to Megen and built their monastery between 1648 and 1653. The building and its furnishings developed during this period of monastic renewal.
The chapel displays religious stories through its windows and furnishings, showing the craftsmanship of artisans who worked on these pieces. You can see how this artwork shapes the space and helps visitors understand the religious meaning of the place.
The monastery is surrounded by a cross-shaped garden with seasonal elements that visitors can explore. You should allow enough time to view the chapel and garden at a relaxed pace.
The monastery founded a Latin school in 1645 that later became Sint-Anthonisgymnasium and produced religious scholars. This school played an important role in education and intellectual life in the region.
