Franciscan Church, Medieval monastery and church in central Graz, Austria
The Franciscan Church features a high narrow chancel from the 14th century that contrasts with the low wide nave of the building.
Founded in 1239 as a monastery of the Minorites, this religious complex stands as the oldest monastery establishment in the city of Graz.
The cloister walls display inscriptions with names, professions, and life details of noble citizens buried there between the 15th and 18th centuries.
The monastery complex includes a library, event halls, emergency shelter, and gardens that remain accessible to both residents and visitors throughout the year.
The church tower, uncommon for Franciscan buildings, was constructed in the 17th century as a fortified structure by city authorities near the walls.
