Johanniterniederlassung Utrecht, Medieval monastery in Utrecht, Netherlands.

The Johanniterniederlassung is a monastery complex in the heart of Utrecht with four spacious grassy areas and distinctive corner trees in the center. The grounds now house the Museum Catharijneconvent, which displays religious art collections throughout the year.

The complex began as a residence of the Knights Hospitaller and grew into the largest hospital in medieval Utrecht. The site served local residents for centuries before eventually becoming an art museum.

The courtyard preserves the traditional layout of a religious community with its four grassy sections that still convey the quietness of sacred spaces. The modern sculpture in the garden shows how the site blends its spiritual past with contemporary art.

The location sits on Lange Nieuwstraat in the city center and is easily reached on foot. The museum provides access to the grounds and collections with nearby parking and signs to guide visitors.

The gardens once served as an important pharmacy workshop where plants were cultivated to serve both hospital patients and monastery residents. This dual use of the plants shows how practical knowledge and daily needs were intertwined.
