Gruenwald Convent, Former Roman Catholic convent in western Mercer County, United States.
The Gruenwald Convent stands as a two-and-a-half-story brick structure on a stone foundation, featuring three bays across its main facade.
Built in 1854 under Francis de Sales Brunner's direction, this convent served as one of six religious establishments constructed by the Missionaries of the Precious Blood.
The building represents German Catholic settlement patterns in Ohio, forming part of the architectural collection known as the Land of the Cross-Tipped Churches.
Located 0.5 miles south of Cassella on Cassella-Montezuma Road, the convent now functions as a private residence called the McDowell House.
Among the six original convents built in the region between 1846 and 1856, Gruenwald remains one of only two that maintain their original architectural integrity.
