St. Anthony's Monastery

Description

St. Anthony's Monastery was a monastery in Albergen, Twente, in the Dutch municipality of Tubbergen.
It was founded in 1407 as one of the first houses of the Brothers of Common Life, which arose from a movement of inner renewal, the Modern Devotion, started by the Deventer theologian Geert Grote. The house was founded on the Hobergen estate, where the brothers Hessel and Albert Schulten lived. Between 1407 and 1412 a clerk's house with a prayer room was built here. There was also a weaving mill, a kitchen, a refectory and monastic cells. From 1410 onwards, a guest house, a sick quarters, a monastery farm, a brewery and a bakery followed. In 1413 a chapel with an altar was built against the Hobergen house and a cemetery was built next to it. The construction of a horse mill for grinding corn and pressing seeds into oil was also started.
