Kapuzinerkloster, Franciscan monastery in Werne, Germany.
Kapuzinerkloster is a Capuchin monastery in Werne comprising multiple building wings arranged around a central courtyard. The complex displays Baroque features in its interior altars and traditional plastered exterior walls typical of the period.
Capuchin monks founded the monastery in 1659 following a request from local residents for spiritual support. The buildings were constructed between 1671 and 1680, establishing a lasting religious presence in the town.
The monastery serves as a spiritual center where visitors encounter the daily practice of religious life and community service. The Capuchin brothers remain an active presence in the building, offering spiritual guidance to those who seek it.
The monastery offers accommodation through its restored guest house in an adjoining building for visitors and pilgrims. The location is walkable from Werne town center, and interior spaces are open during standard visiting hours.
The monastery produces its own herbal blend called Kapuziner Krauter, combining parsley, lovage, sunflower blossoms, marjoram, and chives. This small-scale production reflects traditional monastic craft practices.
