History


Around 1175, a monastery was established by Taco, a Premonstratensian from Mariëngaarde [nl]. In 1204, the monastery was named Oldeklooster [nl] after Nijeklooster, a convent was established at a distance of 15 minutes by foot.[6][7]: 12  A village developed around Oldeklooster which was named Kloosterburen.[8] At the end of the 16th century, Nijeklooster was destroyed by the Protestants.[9] Oldeklooster was closed, and the church became Dutch Reformed, however Oldeklooster is one of the two monasteries which still exist in Groningen.[7]: 12 

A large part of the population remained Roman Catholic, and in 1840 permission was given to re-establish a parish. The neo-gothic Saint Willibrord Church was built in 1868–69 by Pierre Cuypers.[6] The church has a 56 metres (184 ft) tall tower.[5] Kloosterburen is the most northern place in the Netherlands to celebrate Carnival as Kronkeldörp.[10][5] From 1926 to 1970, the Roosendaal brothers of the Sacred Heart lived and worked in a Kloosterburen convent, which was converted into Hotel Het Klooster in 1970.[11]

In 2011, the public library closed down. The village community bought the inventory, and operates a free of charge village library.[5] Kloosterburen was an independent municipality until 1990, when it merged into De Marne. In 2019, it became part of Het Hogeland.[5]
