Graukloster, Medieval monastery and town hall in Schleswig, Germany

The Graukloster complex encompasses both a former Franciscan monastery and current town hall, with preserved Gothic halls displaying wall paintings from 1280.

Founded in 1234 as Kloster St. Paul, the Franciscan monastery hosted three religious chapters of the Dacia Province in 1292, 1316, and 1392.

The monastery underwent transformation in 1528 when its buildings became a shelter for people in need while the church section transformed into municipal offices.

Visitors can explore the Gothic architecture, medieval wall paintings, and administrative spaces through guided tours available at specific times throughout the week.

The building contains remnants of a medieval hypocaust heating system, revealing advanced engineering methods used by religious communities in the 13th century.
