Klooster-Lidlum

Klooster-Lidlum (West Frisian: Kleaster-Lidlum) is a small village in Waadhoeke municipality in the province of Friesland, the Netherlands.

[3] The village was first mentioned in 1317 as Lidlem, and means "monastery of the settlement of Liudila (person)".

The monastery refers to the Premonstratensian abbey Mariëndal which was founded in 1182 near Tzummarum.

[4] In the 13th century, the monastery was home to 600 monks, had several outposts and ruled over 18 parishes.

[5] After its destruction, Caspar de Robles turned it into barracks for Spanish troops.
