The monastery Bloom Kamp ( Dutch Bloemkamp even Oudklooster = "old monastery", Latin floridus campus , West Frisian Aldekleaster , Gronings Oldeklooster ) was a Cistercian abbey in the Netherlands . It was located in Hartwerd in the municipality of Wûnseradiel northeast of Bolsward in the province of Friesland .
history
The monastery was founded and settled on the basis of a foundation by the brothers Tethardus, Herdradus and Syboldus from Klaarkamp Monastery around 1190 (the information varies until 1192) and was consecrated by Baldwin of Holland , the bishop of Utrecht . Tethardus became the first abbot of the monastery; Herdradus Prior. Second abbot was Wighardus. The monastery received the patronage over the church of Scharnegoutum and also newly gained land on the Middelzee (Zuidersee). The name Oldeklooster was used to distinguish it from a nunnery founded near Sneek (Nijeklooster). In the conflict between Schieringers and Vetkopers , the monastery took the Schieringer side. Above all, the twelfth abbot, Meikulpus, was considered enthusiastic about the war. In 1347 the monks of Bloomkamp attacked the Pingjum monastery without success. In 1345 Wilhelm VI was in the monastery . , Count of Holland, buried. Renicus Camga, who became abbot in Oldeklooster in 1377, was also considered very warlike and lived in enmity with the monks of Ludingakerk, who belonged to the Vetkooper party. Armed conflicts with the monks of Ludingakerk (1380 and 1420) and with the citizens of Bolsward led to the decline of the monastery. The great flood of 1464 also caused great damage to the monastery lands. In the following years a library, a hospital and a summer house for the monks were set up in the monastery. The monastery took off again. In 1499 Abbot Petrus Poppingawier was appointed a member of the High Council of Friesland. In 1515 the monastery was occupied by the Black Heap until it was driven out by the troops of Colonel Lenard Swartsenburg. It was conquered by the Anabaptists in 1535 , but they were soon defeated and executed by troops under Georgius Schenck , the governor of Friesland. In 1572 the monastery was devastated, but lasted until 1579. In that year the abbot was captured and the reformed worship was introduced in Friesland. The monastery property seized the land, the lands were sold in the following period.
