Kapuzinerkloster

The Kapuzinerkloster features a single-nave church with side chapels and a square choir room, incorporating elements of Neo-Romanesque and Neo-Baroque styles.

The monastery, established in 1626, served as a military hospital after the Battle of Hanau in 1813 and suffered a fire caused by careless hospital attendants.

The Franziskanische Gemeinschaft von Betanien maintains religious traditions through regular services, seasonal celebrations, and theological conferences at the monastery.

The church measures 42 meters in length, 20 meters in width, and 12 meters in height, with a wooden ceiling replacing the original barrel vault.

The entrance features a sandstone niche containing a figure group of Saint Elisabeth, preserved from the original 1627 church structure.
