The Cellebroederskapel is, together with a small annex, the only remnant of the former monastery of the ‘Cellebroeders’ in Maastricht. These Alexian Brothers (or Cellites) were a lay religious congregation devoted to caring for the sick, specifically those suffering from leprosy and the bubonic plague, and for burying those who died of these diseases. The chapel was presumably built in or shortly after 1512. @vereniginghendrickdekeyser #maastricht #limburg #kapel #chapel #gotiek #gothic #cellebroeders #cellebroederskapel #vereniginghendrickdekeyser #hendrickdekeyser #klooster #monastery (bij Maastricht, Netherlands) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bye9XpXIBs_/?igshid=ox52bpqxdjjh
