On the Neerstraat, you stand face-to-face with over 350 years of history. Built in 1666 for Peter van Boshuijsen, the Bailiff of Montfort, this national monument still exudes the elegance of the Mosan Renaissance style. The striking double entrance dates back to 1724, but the most visible details were added in the 19th century.
Around 1875, the Sisters of the Poor Child Jesus arrived here from Germany. They transformed the building into a convent, adding a Neo-Baroque chapel and adorning the facade with statues of Saints Augustine, Dominic, and the Virgin Mary. Look closely at the four coats of arms, representing the city of Roermond and the Papacy. Although the sisters departed in 1994, the building remains a serene and iconic landmark in the heart of Roermond.
