Katrien Guesthouse was built in 1838 by the Franciscan Sisters of “Alles voor Allen” from Breda. The sisters cared for the elderly, the sick, and orphans, and in 1838 they started a school for the poor. Mother Alphonse founded the retirement home in 1888. The community was dissolved in 1932. The work was taken over by the Sisters of Mary of the Angels. They moved to Maastricht in 1970.
