Sisters of Charity of Zams, Religious congregation building in Zams, Austria.
Sisters of Charity of Zams is a convent with a monastery church and St. Vinzenz Hospital set on extensive grounds at Klostergasse 106. The complex brings together religious spaces with modern healthcare and educational facilities on a single site.
The community was founded in 1826 when Katharina Lins established this religious institution. Over nearly two centuries, it grew into a major center for nursing and social services in the region.
The sisters shaped community life through healthcare and social work that has defined the town for generations. Their presence remains deeply connected to how locals view the identity and values of Zams.
The grounds are best reached by public transport to Zams. Tours are available by advance reservation, and it is worth contacting ahead to arrange a visit.
The site houses active healthcare services and educational institutions side by side, making it a rare example of a living religious community blending spiritual life with practical social work. Visitors can experience a place that continues its original mission in real time rather than existing purely as a historical site.
