Problematic category edit

There are some issues with this category and its current subdivisions:

  1. There are no non-Roman Catholic Christian monasteries in the Netherlands, which makes this category identical with the category 'Roman Catholic monasteries in the Netherlands'.
  2. The subdivisions by province (which has been carried out half-heartedly, since most monasteries are now in both the national and the provincial categories) is problematic. Some monasteries (eg. Susteren Abbey & Rolduc) were disestablished before the province that they are supposed to be in was created.
  3. Quite a few monasteries in this category are former monasteries.
