"The Bonnefantenklooster, also known as Sepulchrijnenklooster, is a former monastery complex in the center of the Dutch city of Maastricht. The building served as a monastery of the Canons Regular of the Holy Sepulchre (Latin: sepulchrum = tomb) from 1626 to 1796. From 1952 to 1979, the Bonnefantenmuseum was located here, which owes its name to the monastery. After that, various services of Maastricht University were established."
