Boxmeer has a number of unique sights, including the Karmelklooster. The Carmelite Monastery in Boxmeer was built between 1653 and 1709. The monastery was founded by Albrecht van den Bergh and Madeleine de Cusance, lord and lady of Boxmeer. The former had to do with both the Catholic Spanish Southern Netherlands and the Protestant Republic of the United Netherlands. To strengthen his own sovereignty over Boxmeer in this tightrope walk between the two powers, he built the monastery.
