Franziskanerkloster Dorsten, Franciscan monastery in Dorsten, Germany.

The monastic complex consists of a church, residential quarters, and communal spaces situated in the center of Dorsten at Lippestraße 5.

The monastery originated in 1488 when the Franciscans of Cologne Province established their presence through a joint initiative with knight Goswin von Raesfeld.

The Franciscans founded and managed the Petrinum Gymnasium in 1642, which operated as an educational institution for the local population until 1836.

The monastery church opens its doors for religious services, with opportunities for confessions and spiritual guidance following the ceremonies.

Eight Franciscan brothers currently reside in the monastery, providing daily meals to people in need while maintaining their religious duties.
