In 1543 the monastery was secularized, and after a few years (in 1547) it was closed. In the years 1927-28, a general renovation of the monastery was carried out in order to turn it into a regional museum, which until 1945. In 1956 the municipal and district public library was opened there. Currently, the monastery buildings house local cultural institutions: the Cultural Centre Myśliborski and the Municipal Public Library.

It was not until 1844 that the monks returned to the monastery.

In Kollumerzwaag a Mennonite community was founded between 1600 and 1620. At the beginning of the 19th century this community declined and was threatened with dissolution. Around 1816 the Vermaning was demolished and rebuilt in 1816 in Zwaagwesteinde. There was not a single church there at the time. After the death of Rev. Bosma the community ceased to exist in 1844. The Vermaning was sold and converted into a smithy. Later it became two workers' houses and in 1934 family doctor Noordhof bought the old Vermaning, had it demolished and built his doctor's house on the foundation.
