Die Nonnenklöster spielten im 16. und 17. Jahrhundert eine bedeutende gesellschaftliche Rolle.

Die Edelleute, die oft für längere Zeit auf königlichen Missionen abwesend waren, brachten hier ihre unverheirateten Töchter unter.

Andererseits boten die Nonnenklöster zahlreichen Witwen Sicherheit und Geborgenheit, nicht nur in moralischer und religiöser, sondern vor allem in wirtschaftlicher Hinsicht.

During the 16th and 17th century convents played a very important social role.

To the nobles, who were often absent on royal missions for a longer period, the convents served as a secure place where they could leave their unmarried daughters.

On the other side, to the numerous widows who found shelter in a convent, it meant much desired security, not only in the moral and religious but also economic aspect.
