St. Anne's Monastery

St. Anne's Monastery is a monastery located in Grijzestad's Old Town (Grijzestad). It was founded in 1535 by nuns of the Carmelite order and is the oldest functioning monastery in Brunant.

Construction of the building began in 1535 and ended around 1538. The monastery was connected to Sint-Stefan Kerk by an underground tunnel. The monastery received some damage during the Battle of Grijzestad (1941) in 1941. The nuns took care of Jews and many children during this time, hiding them from the authorities. After the end of the war, the nun's of St. Anne's were awarded the Resistance Cross (in 1948).
