The Marienkamp monastery ( Dutch Maria in Campis ) was a Cistercian convent in what is now the Dutch province of Drenthe .
history
The monastery was founded in Coevorden in 1215 , later moved to Duurse near Rolde , accepted into the Cistercian order in 1246 and has been in Assen since 1258 . The settlement of Assen developed from the monastery (town only since the 19th century). In 1418 the monastery was devastated by fire. In 1460 it joined the Trinitarian Order . In the course of the Reformation, the monastery probably perished around 1596; it was dissolved in 1602. In 1601 the tower collapsed and the church was badly damaged. In 1662 the church was rebuilt. Only the medieval south wall was preserved. In 1848 the church was sold to the parish, which used it as a meeting house. It has been used as part of the Drents Museum since 1982 .
