Agnetenkloster Xanten
The Agnetenkloster is a former monastery of the Franciscan Sisters in Xanten .
In 1402 Stineken van der Brüchen gave the Franciscan Sisters of the Third Order of the Franciscans a property in Niederstrasse in Xanten. They set up a monastery there and consecrated it to St. Agnes of Rome .
In 1605 only two sisters of the order lived in the Agnetenkloster , so that half of the monastery had already been ceded to the Benedictine nuns of the Hagenbusch monastery . The other half of the Agnetenkloster became the property of the Cistercian nuns of the destroyed Fürstenberg monastery . The Archbishop of Cologne, Ernst von Bayern, approved the transfer on February 3, 1606.
As a result of the secularization under Napoléon Bonaparte , the Agnetenkloster was abolished in 1802 and the monastery library was incorporated into the Xanten Abbey Library.
