Kloosterkerkhof Stein

Scharbergweg 1
Stein
The monastery cemetery at Stein Castle belonged to the Congregation of Missionaries of the Sacred Heart. 159 religious are buried here, including Daughters of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart. The fathers and brothers have lived in the mission house on the castle grounds from 1921, where the Theologicum is located until 1966. Around 1970 sisters also came to live there and the monastery complex became a retirement home for religious. Fathers who returned from the mission were also able to spend their old age well in Stein.

The fathers, brothers and sisters have been associated with the Stein community for seventy-five years. A number of fathers are well known, such as the writer and poet Jacques Schreurs and the amateur archaeologist Anton Munsters. The cemetery also contains the war grave of student priest Dirk Oudendijk. Twice a year, in May and November, the grave adopters offer a floral greeting to the deceased.
