Capuchin Monastery, Salzburg, Religious monastery on Kapuzinerberg mountain in Salzburg, Austria.

The Capuchin Monastery features an inner portal with a Late Gothic oak door and includes a bastion with a tall cross visible across the city.

Prince Archbishop Wolf Dietrich von Raitenau transformed a medieval fortified tower known as Trompeterschlösschen into this monastery complex in 1594.

Six baroque chapels depicting Stations of the Cross line the path from Linzer Gasse, concluding with a crucifixion group near the monastery entrance.

Visitors can access the monastery through multiple paths, including routes from Linzer Gasse, Imbergstiege past St. John's Chapel, or Doblerweg from Fürbergstraße.

The monastery's strategic position on Kapuzinerberg mountain provides views across Salzburg's rooftops and contains elements from the old Salzburg Cathedral.
