The research provides great insights in the stratigraphy and the nature of the friary, during its entire period of existence. From its year of construction until 1572. Furthermore, information has been gathered regarding the time before and after the use of the friary. The construction happened between 1246 and 1248 AD by the Franciscan Order (Ordo Fratrum Minorum) on the Voorstraat in Dordrecht. This Italian religious order aimed to emulate the life of Jesus Christ, according to the ‘imitatio Christi’ principle. The Franciscans lived an austere life, discarding any possessions owned by the friars.
