Kapuzinerkloster, Franciscan monastery in Werne, Germany.
The monastery complex features a church with Baroque altars, four wings surrounding a small courtyard, and plastered walls displaying traditional architecture.
The Capuchin brothers established the monastery in 1659 after local residents requested spiritual support, with construction completed between 1671 and 1680.
The monastery maintains a library containing 22,000 volumes and serves as a religious center where Capuchin brothers provide spiritual guidance to the community.
Pilgrims traveling the Way of St. James can find accommodation in the restored former plague house adjacent to the monastery.
The monastery produces its own herb mixture called Kapuziner Krauter, combining parsley, lovage, sunflower blossoms, marjoram, and chives.
