Brother Konrad Monastery, Baroque monastery in Altötting, Germany.

Brother Konrad Monastery is a former Franciscan house, now Capuchin, in Altötting. Its church, built in 1657 in early Baroque style, has no bell tower but a roof turret, long round-arched windows lighting the single nave with organ gallery, and a polygonal choir visible as a separate volume at the rear. The interior was renovated in 2017/18: the reliquary shrine now rests in a stone sarcophagus behind the new altar, and nine floor plates in the central aisle carry Brother Konrad's thoughts.

Founded in 1654 by Franz Wilhelm von Wartenberg, Prince-Bishop of Regensburg and provost of the Altötting collegiate church, for Franciscan Reformates and named after Saint Conrad of Parzham. In May 1802 the Franciscans were expelled to Ingolstadt and Tölz, and the convent was given to the Capuchins as an Aussterbekloster housing about 150 friars from dissolved Bavarian houses. Under King Ludwig I the Bavarian Capuchin province was re-established from Altötting, and the friars have cared for the pilgrimage to the Gnadenkapelle since. The church, dedicated to Saint Anne, was retitled to Brother Konrad on 23 March 1953 and remodelled by the Regensburg architect Beckers in 1956/57; the convent took the name Bruder-Konrad-Kloster in 1961.

The monastery is dedicated to Konrad of Parzham, a Capuchin lay brother who lived and worked here for over four decades and was canonized in 1934. Pilgrims still come to pray at his tomb, making the site an active place of devotion rather than simply a historic building.

The monastery sits in the center of Altötting, close to the Chapel of Grace, and is easy to reach on foot from the main square. Because it is an active religious community, it is worth checking opening times before visiting, as they may change around services or religious events.

Brother Konrad worked here as a porter for over four decades, and his habit of never turning away anyone who asked for help made him a figure people remembered long after his death. This simple role at the door is what built his reputation, not a position of authority within the order.
