    1465: Donation of a house and croft to the Franciscan sisters by Duke Adolf von Geldern, at the same time approval for the construction of a chapel with a bell tower and a separate churchyard by the priest of Aldekerk.

    In 1467 the monastery church in Aldekerk was consecrated as a house chapel. It has burned down or been destroyed several times, but has always been rebuilt and used for religious services.

    1802/1804: In the course of secularization, the monastery, the buildings and the land ownership were abolished.

    In 1854, the religious headquarters of the Sisters of Our Lady of Coesfeld was founded in Aldekerk. The monastery church dates back to a much older chapel from 1467. The Magdalenenheim served as a hospital until 1972 and has been run as a nursing home since 1977. The Magdalenenpark with its sculptures is remarkable.
