Saint Anthony's Monastery (Blerick),

'The Sisters of Divine Providence settled in Blerick in 1876. In 1888, the monastery was nearly bankrupt due to extreme poverty, but the congregation was saved through the intervention of the chaplain of the Saint Anthony Church. Over time, the monastery grounds were expanded up to 1st Graaf van Loon Street to the west, Rutgerusgang to the north, and the then Koes Street to the south (this was later renamed Kloosterstraat in honor of the sisters). Over time, the entire complex covered approximately 2 hectares

.On March 1, 1944, after the bombings in Venlo in the aftermath of World War II, it became clear that the monastery was irreparably damaged. However, all the sisters survived the war violence. The monastery was demolished starting in 1955 to make way for new construction along a modern shopping street.'

The sisters were engaged in education. They established three girls' schools, a teacher training college for girls, two boarding schools, several kindergartens, a boarding house for ladies and gentlemen. In total, about 800 people were employed in the 1930s. The asylums were intended for the care of the sick and needy who required care rather than medical treatment. However, the term asylum also suggests the use of psychiatric hospitals or clinics for treating the mentally ill, and sanatoria for institutions where chronically ill patients are cared for.
