Marienkamp Abbey
Marienkamp Abbey ( nl, Klooster Mariënkamp; la, Maria in Campis) was a Cistercian nunnery in the present province of Drenthe in the Netherlands. History The abbey was founded in 1215 in Coevorden, later moved to Deurze near Rolde, accepted by the Cistercians in 1246, and moved again, to the present Assen, in 1258. The abbey gave rise to the village of Assen (which was not a town until the 19th century). It was devastated by a fire in 1418. In 1460 it joined the Trinitarian Order. The community ceased to exist during the Protestant Reformation, around 1596; its formal dissolution took place in 1602. In 1601 the church tower collapsed, and badly damaged the church, which was rebuilt in 1662: of the mediaeval structure only the south wall remained. In 1848 the church was sold to the municipality, which used it as a community centre. Since 1982 it has been used as part of the Drents Museum The Drents Museum () is an art and history museum in Assen, Drenthe, in the Netherla ...

Cistercian
The Cistercians, () officially the Order of Cistercians ( la, (Sacer) Ordo Cisterciensis, abbreviated as OCist or SOCist), are a Catholic religious order of monks and nuns that branched off from the Benedictines and follow the Rule of Saint Benedict, as well as the contributions of the highly-influential Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, known as the Latin Rule. They are also known as Bernardines, after Saint Bernard himself, or as White Monks, in reference to the colour of the "cuculla" or cowl (choir robe) worn by the Cistercians over their habits, as opposed to the black cowl worn by Benedictines. The term ''Cistercian'' derives from ''Cistercium,'' the Latin name for the locale of Cîteaux, near Dijon in eastern France. It was here that a group of Benedictine monks from the monastery of Molesme founded Cîteaux Abbey in 1098, with the goal of following more closely the Rule of Saint Benedict. The best known of them were Robert of Molesme, Alberic of Cîteaux and the English ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
