Franciscan Closter, Salzburg, Medieval monastery in Altstadt, Salzburg, Austria.
The Franciscan Closter stands at Franziskanergasse 5, featuring a Romanesque nave and Gothic chancel with star-ribbed vaulting in its church architecture.
The original structure, built in the eighth century during Saint Virgil's time, underwent reconstruction after a fire in 1167 destroyed several churches in Salzburg.
The high altar, designed by Fischer von Erlach in 1710, displays a central Madonna statue from the Late Gothic period by Michael Pacher of Tyrol.
The monastery maintains regular worship services and includes barrier-free access with a ramp to the altar for visitors requiring assistance.
The church tower was shortened in 1670 by Archbishop Max Gandolf because it exceeded the cathedral's height, then restored in 1866 in neo-Gothic style.
