Clarissenklooster Eindhoven, Monastic complex in Eindhoven, Netherlands.

The monastery stands surrounded by a moat and high walls along the Dommel River, featuring red brick construction in the Delft School style.

Built in 1953 by architect Kees de Bever, the monastery replaced the former Rapelenburg estate, which was acquired for road construction purposes.

The monastery takes its name from Saint Clare, a 13th-century follower of Francis of Assisi who established principles of simplicity and devotion.

The monastery building will transform into a hotel with sixty rooms and a restaurant, with construction scheduled to begin in early 2025.

Student associations and local guilds maintain a tradition of offering sausages at the monastery gate as an offering to Saint Clare.
