Kapuzinerkloster Irdning, Baroque monastery in Irdning-Donnersbachtal, Austria
Kapuzinerkloster Irdning is a Baroque monastery positioned on a hilltop in Falkenburg with a two-story main building and tiered courtyard space. The south-facing church forms the heart of the complex and is framed by arcaded walkways.
A hunting lodge from an earlier period was transformed into a monastery in 1711 by Count Sigismund von Welserheim. The church received its consecration in 1718 and became an important center for the surrounding region.
The monastery serves as a spiritual hub where religious art and devotional practices shape how visitors experience the space. The community here maintains traditional monastic routines that visitors can observe during their time on the grounds.
The monastery church is accessible to visitors during daytime hours and offers a quiet space for a visit. You can contact the community by phone or email if you have questions or need additional information.
The refectory houses a late medieval statue of Mary with Child that displays detailed religious craftsmanship. This artwork predates the building's conversion and remains one of the monastery's most treasured possessions.
