Constantinianum

The Constantinianum features traditional brick construction with minimal decoration, incorporating a square layout surrounding a central cloister garden and a prominent church tower.

Built between 1952 and 1957 by architect Jos Schijvens, the complex originated as a monastery for the Order of the Cruciferi before expanding into educational facilities.

The building contains notable artworks including stone carvings of Saint Helena and Emperor Constantine, along with stained glass windows created by Victor van Mil.

The structure now houses educational facilities, including Leerhotel Het Klooster, providing space for both academic programs and vocational training in tourism and recreation.

In 1985, the courtyard of Constantinianum hosted a meeting between Pope John Paul II and Dutch youth during the papal visit to the Netherlands.
