Santa Cruz o San Antonio, Villaverde de Pontones

Storia

The community inhabiting the monastery was originally founded in Santander in 1656. The nuns lived there until 1835. During the suppression of the monastic orders in 1835, the sisters were forced to leave. At that time, they joined another community in Santillana del Mar.

In 1917, the Bishopric asked the nuns to settle in their present location in an old house donated by a wealthy local family. Due to the deteriorating condition of the building, it had to be completely rebuilt. Of the original structure, only the 18th-century chapel and Gothic vault remain.
