Mariengaarde, Holland

This 18th century engraving is all we have left of Mariengaarde.  Mr. Pieter van der Meulen, the 20th century descendant of the farmer shown in this drawing has corresponded with us and told us "tales" about his father plowing in the fields and uncovering artifacts from this great Abbey!  See comments on previous page.
