In 1442 a monastery called Maria Wijngaard was founded here for the canons of Augustine. A chapel was built near this monastery in 1539. In 1797 this monastery was closed and the chapel was demolished in 1836. In 1843 the monastery was occupied by the Birgittines from Uden. In 1876 it became a cloister. In 2006 some new foreign sisters came to live in the monastery, but they were not contemplative final sisters. The monastery then took on a more open character.

There is a long facade on the street. Here is the chapel from 1843 with ridge turret and pointed arch windows. There is also the entrance gate, with a baroque frame. A statue of the Holy Birgitta is placed in a niche.

The complex consists of a number of buildings grouped around a courtyard. Some 18th-century and possibly 17th-century building components are still present.

You can also stay here for an overnight stay. they have a monastery church where they make delicious refreshments and, among other things, great limonchello. Products/bookings can be ordered via their site: birgittinessen.nl/gastenhuis
