Cistercian abbey of Sint-Annen
The Cistercian Abbey Sint-Annen (also: small Aduard / small Adwert or Ten Boer ) was 1342-1594 a monastery of Cistercian nuns in Ten Boer , Groningen in the Netherlands .
history
The nunnery, founded in 1340 in today's hamlet of Sint-Annen near Ten Boer northeast of Groningen , became Cistercian in 1342 and came under the supervision of Abbot Frederik Gaykinga of the Aduard Monastery . The name originally used, Klein-Aduard , was changed to "Sancta Anna" at the request of the Bishop of Münster , to whose diocese the monastery belonged. After an initial looting in 1582, the monastery was destroyed by the Geusen in 1590 and abolished in 1594 (after Groningen was incorporated into the Protestant Republic of the Seven United Provinces ). Today only the name of the village reminds of the former monastery.
