In 1451, the Catharinenberg Convent of the Women of the Third Order of St. Francis stood on this site. It was burned to the ground in 1573, and upon their return in 1617, the convent was rebuilt. Unfortunately, the nuns were expelled once again in 1731. At the request of the clergy, the Franciscan Sisters of Oirschot settled in 1844 in the former Catharinenberg, which had since been converted into a mansion with a courtyard, a coach house, stables, and grounds. From here, the sisters taught until 1986.
