Saint Agatha Monastery

The Sint-Agathaklooster is a former monastery at Heereweg 258 in the Dutch town of Lisse. Since 2000, the building has been registered in the national monuments register. The monastery dates back to the 1900s and was commissioned by the Roman Catholic parish of Saint Agatha. The building was built in neo-Gothic style to a design by the architect Jean van Groenendael. Originally, the building was used by the Poor Clares and the Franciscan Sisters. Over the years, the monastery lost its original function and was used as a shelter for difficult-to-educate young people. In the early eighties, the roof rider was heavily damaged as a result of a fire. The roof rider was replaced in 1985. Since 1984, the building has functioned as an office for the Education Guidance Service. The former chapel has become a multifunctional space, and is used as a meeting room, rehearsal hall and concert hall.
