Monastery of Margraten

Rijksweg 30, Margraten: Monastery of Margraten

The monastery and school building were built in 1911. This makes it relatively young, but it does show a typical architectural style from the early 20th century. The building has a T-shaped floor plan, has two floors and is covered with mansard roofs. The building is made of brick and marl. The street façade of the school building has a decorative niche with a statue of the Sacred Heart. At the bottom of the statue of the Sacred Heart is a plaque with the year 1911. The monastery with former school building is of cultural-historical value as a special expression of a cultural, spiritual and typological development. The object has regional architectural-historical value and is important because of the special use of materials and ornamentation.
