Monasticon Praemonstratense (II, 342)
Approximate modern location: Northern Holland, near Amsterdam, but precise location within City of Alkmaar is unknown.
Elm-Number [See Below]: None.*
Other Comments: According to tradition, there was a Norbertine convent in N. Holland in this area, which unfortunately has not been confirmed in writing by any of the chronicles. Perhaps this house was a hermitage/convent of the Penitents of Sta. Maria Magdalena.
