The Dominicanessen Nuns built the Convent in 1954. These Dutch nuns came to Sint Maarten in 1890 and started a school and a hospital across the street. Nowadays, the top of the convent is in use as the Permanent Representation office or “Permanente Vertegenwoordiging”, of the European Netherlands in St Maarten.
The Convent is located on Front Street, Philipsburg, St Maarten. Right across the street, one can see the gable of the former older Convent – now St Rose Arcade.
