Dominikanerkloster

The Dominikanerkloster stands at Dominikanerplatz 2, featuring architectural elements that combine Gothic and Baroque construction styles within its stone walls.

Founded in 1227 under Bishop Hermann von Lobdeburg, the Dominican monastery operated until 1804 when the Bavarian government dissolved it during secularization.

The monastery gained recognition through the creation of the Dance of Death artwork around 1350, reflecting the impact of the European plague epidemic.

Visitors can locate the building at coordinates 49.796094 latitude and 9.931558 longitude, near the center of Würzburg's historical district.

The Augustinian order moved into the vacant monastery building in 1813, leading to its current designation as Augustinerkirche despite its Dominican origins.
