The oldest Capuchin monastery in the Netherlands (1645) is a center for silence and mindfulness. Located in the quietest spot in the country, it features the most beautiful monastery garden in the Netherlands. Guided tours are available by appointment.
The monastery is situated on the Zuiderwaterlinie near Velp/Grave: the oldest and longest chain of forts, fortified towns, and inundation areas the Netherlands has ever known. The line was intended to protect the Northern Netherlands from Spanish, and later, French attacks.
You can discover the history of the Zuiderwaterlinie by walking or cycling through eleven fortified towns in Brabant, including Grave, and their surrounding countryside. The monastery offers walkers and cyclists the opportunity to stay overnight in a single room.
