history
The Cistercian convent Nieuw-Mariëndaal in Heesbeen near Heusden, which turned out to be non-viable, was replaced in 1382 by a Cistercian monastery ( priory from 1426 ) that was settled by Kamp monastery and moved to Heusden (northwest of 's-Hertogenbosch ) in 1384 (Janauschek, order number 712 ) and called himself Mariënkroon (first superior: Willem van Wisse). In 1439 it founded the Mariëndonk priory nearby . When Mariënkroon was sacked by the Geusen in 1579 , the convent went to 's-Hertogenbosch, where it lasted until 1629, before the Protestant Republic of the Seven United Provinces put an end to it. The Cistercian Abbey Mariënkroon , which was founded in Nieuwkuijk in 1904 and originally intended as a refuge , took this name in 1937 as a conscious connection to the medieval (and early modern) monastery.
