St. Vincenz Sisters' House (Borchen Convent)
============================================

- Monastery
- Park/gardens

The “St. Vincenz” Sisters’ Home was acquired in 1894 by the Cooperative of the Sisters of Mercy from Mr. Hubert Hoeken, a nephew of the community’s third Superior General, Sister M. Beata Hoeken, for the purpose of providing rest and recuperation for sisters who were working in nursing and were in poor health. For many years, the “convent”—as the Vincenzhaus is known among the residents of Kirchborchen—served this purpose.

 From the very beginning, the sisters from Vincenzhaus maintained good relations with the villagers. Very soon, sisters from Vincenzhaus began volunteering at the kindergarten and in community care. There was a sewing school, and at Vincenzhaus Borchen, young women could receive training in home economics. Since the 1960s, elderly sisters from the community have been spending their twilight years here.
