Former St. Elizabeth's Monastery. Description: two perpendicular wings (eighteenth century), but significantly modernized. Wide facade with anchor date 1778 and a round-arched gate in a blocky rectangular bluestone frame; windows in segmental arched bluestone frames. In the garden, a fragment with an octagonal turret, capped by a trimmed spire, with old fragments (fifteenth century). Near the complex is a so-called "plague house" made of brick.In 1240, Dirk van Altena founded a Caulier monastery here. In 1435, the monastery passed to the Congregation of Windesheim. After its destruction in 1578, reconstruction began in 1603. The two existing perpendicular wings were built against the wing from 1656, destroyed in 1944. Of the monastery chapel, demolished in 1801, only the octagonal stair tower remains. At its foot, a small chapel was built using classicist pilasters, prongs, and a shell-shaped pediment (mid-17th century).The monastery was used for a time as a holiday and nursing home for the Little Sisters of St. Joseph, but is now part of the Land van Horne Foundation.
