Capuchin monastery Feldkirch, Franciscan monastery in Feldkirch, Austria
The Capuchin monastery is a Franciscan complex in this Austrian town featuring a rectangular church with a pitched roof and internal chambers. Inside you find a Neo-Romanesque altar from the 1890s and a separate chapel with a Gothic-style altar from 1911.
The monastery was founded in 1602 and faced closure and confiscation during World War II. Following its reopening, it underwent full restoration in 2007.
The monastery is tied to Saint Fidelis of Sigmaringen, whose veneration is reflected in yearly observances that bring people together. You can visit the chapel dedicated to this saint and see how his memory is honored in the community.
The monastery offers lodging for pilgrims and groups and operates a food distribution area for those in need. Plan ahead if you wish to stay overnight or participate in organized gatherings.
The Fidelis Chapel stands at right angles to the main church and houses relics of Saint Fidelis. This spatial arrangement and preservation of holy remains makes this site particularly meaningful for pilgrims.
