The Marienhorst or Ter Hunnepe monastery was a Cistercian convent in Diepenveen near Deventer in what is now the Dutch province of Overijssel .
history
The monastery was founded on the estate of Ludolf van den Brande in 1225 and was settled by nuns from Hönnepel near Kalkar . In 1230, presumably on the occasion of the incorporation of the monastery into the Cistercian order , the abbot of the Kamp monastery (Altencamp) was entrusted with the visitation of Marienhorst at the instigation of the abbess Richardis of the Roermond monastery . The monastery was under the supervision of Altenkamp. In 1253 there was a fire disaster and the nuns asked that they let them have the Fürstenberg monastery near Xanten , which they were able to purchase in 1258. However, the Benedictine nuns residing there were able to stay. In 1263 the nuns were able to return to the rebuilt Ter Hunnepe. In 1367 the monastery owned a town house in Deventer. In 1386 the new church was consecrated. Around 1420 the monastery joined the congregation of Sibculo for a short time . In 1501 the nuns were chased away. After the monastery was set on fire during a war between Geldern and the Bishop of Utrecht, it was only slowly rebuilt.
In the middle of the 16th century the monastery was converted into a women's monastery. In 1578 the monastery buildings were set on fire again and were subsequently no longer habitable. From 1580 the monastery was finally a secular women's monastery.
After the middle of the 18th century, the ruins of the complex were removed.
