Bethlehem, Netherlands
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bethlehem is a hamlet just west of the village of Rottum, in the Dutch province of Groningen.
Bethlehem is built at the location of a Benedictine nunnery. Together with the St. Juliana's Abbey a small distance to the north, the nunnery was mentioned in 1291 as the Conventus St. Juliane in Rotthem[1]. The church of the abbey was broken down in 1658, and nothing of the abbey remains nowadays.
