Galilea Cistercian Convent
The Cistercian monastery Galilea (also: Vrouwenklooster ) was a monastery of the Cistercian women in Burum , municipality Noardeast-Fryslân , province Friesland in the Netherlands from 1249 to 1580 .
history
The Cistercian priory of Vrouwenklooster or Galilea was donated in the 13th century (possibly 1249) on the Lauwers River and placed under the supervision of the neighboring Cistercian Abbey of Gerka . In 1580, in the course of the establishment of the Protestant Republic of the Seven United Provinces, the monastery was dissolved and the buildings dismantled. Today in Burum only the “Kloosterweg” and the “Galilea” area remind of the former monastery.
