Klooster Don Rua, Monumental monastery in 's-Heerenberg, Netherlands.

The H-shaped monastery building features reddish-brown brick walls, round-arch windows, and ornate architectural details including colonnades and hardstone elements.

German Jesuits established the monastery in 1910 as Sint-Bonifatiushuis after leaving Prussia during the Kulturkampf, remaining there until 1937.

The monastery served as a Red Cross hospital during wartime and later transformed into a Catholic boarding school with gymnasium education.

Following extensive renovations in 2013, the building now contains sixty-four residential units for people aged fifty-five and older.

The monastery grounds previously included sports fields, a swimming pool, and a farm before the development of a new residential area near the German border.
