Description

The Poor Clares Monastery Sint-Josephsberg in Megen is the oldest surviving Poor Clares monastery in the Netherlands. The sisters belonged to the so-called Federation of Saint Clare, as well as the one in Nijmegen.

The convent was consecrated in 1721, after the Poor Clares of Elisabethsdal in Boxtel were forced by the authorities to leave the Meierij of 's-Hertogenbosch. Megen, on the other hand, had a separate status within the Republic of the Netherlands and enjoyed religious freedom. The monastery was built on the site where in 1720 the ruins of the castle of the Counts of Megen were located. The sisters received support from the Poor Clares in Hoogstraten.
