history
Bloomkamp Monastery founded the Cistercian monastery Steenkerk (stone church) north of Heerenveen in Katrijp near Terband in 1301 , which passed into the hands of the Teutonic Order in 1375 and was known as the Katrijper Konvent before it was moved to Nes and then to Oudeschoot (today: Heerenveen) in 1401 . In 1514 it was returned to the Katrijp site and to the Cistercian order , but was transferred to the neighboring municipality of Luinjeberd as early as 1518 and was named Mariënbos (Maria Wald) there. In 1580 the monastery was dissolved in the course of the establishment of the Protestant Republic of the Seven United Provinces . Today the name of the nursing home "Mariënbos" in Heerenveen still reminds of the former monastery, which is not mentioned in the Encyclopaedia Cisterciensis .
