Cistercian convent Nieuw-Mariëndaal
The Cistercian convent Nieuw-Mariëndaal (also Nieuw-Mariendael or Maria-Kroon ) was from 1338 (or 1359) to 1382 a convent of the Cistercian women in Heesbeen, Heusden , province of North Brabant in the Netherlands .
history
Machteld van Riede (1275–1362) founded a nunnery in Heesbeen west of Heusden in 1338 or 1359 (also: 1361), which was settled by the Cistercian Abbey of Mariendaal (Utrecht) and therefore took the name Neu-Mariental . It had the monk Daniel van den Bosch from Kamp monastery as its confessor. After all sorts of difficulties with the founder's heirs (and conversion into a male monastery in 1382), the monastery was closed by Willem van Kronenburg (approx. 1335-1397) in 1384 at the latest and the Cistercian monastery Mariënkroon (Heusden) was founded in Heusden (with settlement from Kamp) .
