Antoniterkloster Memmingen

The Antoniterkloster features a four-wing design with Gothic and Renaissance architectural elements, including original medieval hospital structures and a chapel.

The monastery was established in 1214 by Emperor Frederick II and operated until 1562, when the Protestant Reformation led to its transfer to city ownership.

The complex houses the Strigel Museum, displaying works of the prominent Strigel artist family and artifacts from medieval Memmingen's religious life.

The monastery buildings, located at Martin-Luther-Platz 1, contain the city library, a cafe, and multiple museum spaces open Tuesday through Sunday.

The structure represents the most complete surviving four-wing Antonite monastery building in the world, preserving its original hospital layout.
