but the former Colettine Monastery in Bruges/ Brugge, Belgium is now a housing development offering bed and breakfast.
For more information on the Colettines, one of the two branches of the Poor Clares.
This is the history of the Belgian congregation (sorry, it is in Dutch). However, it shows the decimation of the order in the years since the Council (see the dates)
More history of the convent in Bruges in Dutch can be found here. The last nun seems to have died only in 2001.
