Franziskanerinnen von Vöcklabruck

Franziskanerinnen von Vöcklabruck, Franciscan monastery in Vöcklabruck, Austria.

The Franciscan monastery occupies a substantial building complex with educational facilities and residential quarters for religious sisters in Upper Austria.

Founded in 1861 by Sebastian Schwarz and Franziska Wimmer, the institution initially served children of workers in Vöcklabruck with educational programs.

The monastery maintains traditional Franciscan values through education and healthcare services, following the principles established by Saint Francis of Assisi.

The congregation operates across multiple locations in Austria, Germany, Kazakhstan, and the United States, with its headquarters remaining in Vöcklabruck.

During the 1938 annexation of Austria, the sisters adapted their mission from teaching to nursing when Catholic schools were closed.
