Augustinerkloster Münnerstadt

The Augustinerkloster spreads across multiple buildings including a church, monastery structures, and accommodation facilities at Klostergasse and Stenayer Platz.

Founded in 1279 by the city of Münnerstadt, the monastery experienced severe damage during peasant wars, leading monks to flee to Würzburg until 1652.

The monastery library contains 62,000 volumes, including historical books from the 15th to 18th centuries and first editions of German literature classics.

The monastery complex now incorporates an assisted living facility, created in 2002, which serves both religious members and non-religious residents.

The Augustiner Library represents the largest specialized collection in German-speaking regions focusing on Augustine and the Augustine Order history.
