Franziskanerkloster Marburg, Medieval monastery in Marburg, Germany
The Franciscan monastery sits at the southwestern edge of Marburg's old town, featuring traditional religious architecture and multiple courtyards.
First documented in 1235, the monastery operated until 1528 when Landgrave Philip disbanded it during the Protestant Reformation in Hesse.
The monastery complex stands as a testament to the Franciscan order's influence, originally dedicated to the apostles Peter and Paul.
The former monastery buildings now serve as part of the University of Marburg, with sections open for educational purposes.
The monastery's transition from a religious institution to an academic facility occurred through the appropriation of its assets to fund the Protestant university.
