Franziskanerkloster Weimar, Medieval monastery in Weimar, Germany.
The monastery complex includes a preserved southern main building, which formerly housed the monastery church, located behind the Bauhaus Museum.
Duke Wilhelm III founded the monastery in 1453 under the influence of papal legate Johannes Capistranus, with construction completed in 1457.
Martin Luther visited this monastery multiple times between 1518 and 1540, preaching in the city church and conducting mass within these walls.
The former monastery church now serves as part of the Franz Liszt University of Music, which has operated in this location since 1872.
Duke Wilhelm III wore a monk's habit in his final years and was buried in 1482 in the crypt beneath the monastery church.
