Library of Monastery Wittem - a photo on Flickriver

            Redemptoristenklooster (Redemptorist monastery). This 18th century monastery (build 1729-1733) was originally build after instructions of Ferdinand von Plettenberg, who then possessed the Wittem fiefdom. It was first used by Capuchin monks but later became the first settlement of the redemptorists in the Netherlands, who still inhabit the monastery. The holy Gerard Majella is especially honored here and in the Netherlands, Germany and Belgium this monastery is known as a pilgrimage destination. The monastery and adjoining church are both National Heritage Sights. 
There's a beautiful library which is used for lectures, expositions and other cultural and religious activities. In order to gain the financial means to support the massive building, the old brewery was restored in recent years and now serves to produce the monasteries own beer, "Gerardus Wittems Kloosterbier". There's also a small bookstore. [Wikitravel]
