Franziskanerkirche und Kloster Eisenstadt – Esterházy-Gruft, Baroque church and monastery in Eisenstadt, Austria.

The Franciscan Church features a three-bay choir, early baroque altars with stucco technique, and valuable furnishings dating from 1630.

Count Nikolaus Esterhazy established the Franciscan monastery in 1625, replacing a Minorite monastery destroyed during the first Turkish siege of Vienna in 1529.

The Diocesan Museum, established in 1980, displays exhibitions about Burgenland's church history and ecclesiastical art on the monastery's second floor.

The church complex includes four separate crypts, with the Esterhazy family crypt located in the monastery's east wing, featuring a three-aisled pillared hall.

Artist Stephan Dorfmeister created oil paintings and frescoes in 1770, depicting the Last Supper, St Anthony of Padua, and St Francis in the refectory.
