Franziskanerkloster Hall in Tirol

Franziskanerkloster Hall in Tirol is a religious house in Gothic style with a central church, cloisters, and residential spaces for the Franciscan monks. The complex displays traditional monastic architecture with solid walls and internal courtyard areas.

The site was founded in 1644 by architect P. Rufin Laxner OFM outside the city walls and received financial support from Georg von Ettenhart and Archduchess Claudia de Medici. A fire in 1760 destroyed sections of the building, which was then reconstructed.

The monastery houses notable artworks, including paintings by Christoph Anton Mayr depicting Saint Francis of Assisi's life along the cloister corridors, offering visitors a sense of religious artistic tradition.

The monastery church holds daily services and offers regular confessions along with special masses during the Advent season. Winter months feature early Saturday Rorate services that visitors are welcome to attend.

After the 1760 fire, the church received Neo-Romanesque changes during the 19th century featuring distinctive ceiling vaults and flat pilasters. These architectural features give the interior a particular appearance that differs from its original Gothic form.
