Hannekemaaierspad

Part of the old nuns path of the Buwe monastery.

In 1248, the wealthy landlord Bouwe Harkema, after he had already had a chapel dedicated to Saint Nicholas built on his land, had started building a monastery, which was completed in December 1249. The name of the monastery became Sepulchrum Sanctae Maria (the Tomb of Saint Mary). In the vernacular, people usually spoke of Buweklooster. It was a women's monastery belonging to the order of the Praemonstratensians, also called Norbertines (after the founder Norbertus) or witheren (after the color of the habit). Norbert saw the first Christian congregations as ideal. That meant a life of poverty, dominated by service to God and neighbour.

The monastery existed for about three and a half centuries. In addition to spiritual matters, the monastery also engaged in painting. A large part of the peat bogs east of the Mûnstegroppe, between Buweklooster and Rottevalle, belonged to the monastery. When the Reformation came into force in 1580 and the Roman Catholic religion was banned, the monastery was closed by order of the States of Friesland. All possessions were sold.

When the monastery was no longer inhabited, it slowly fell into disrepair. The last remnants of the building were demolished in 1800. The cemetery has survived. There is still a bell chair in the cemetery, which has been designated as a national monument, from wikipedia/
