Dominican Monastery

The Dominican Monastery in Frankfurt is a Gothic building with a three-aisled church made of rubble stone, blending medieval features with post-war architecture. The complex holds space for around 700 people and displays both older and newer structural elements throughout.

The monastery was founded in 1233, starting with four rooms for religious teaching before becoming one of Frankfurt's largest religious complexes by the 14th century. World War II destroyed much of the building, leaving only certain medieval components intact.

The monastery functions as a space where people gather for religious services, exhibitions, and community meetings throughout the year. It brings together visitors interested in both spiritual life and cultural activities.

The monastery is located in central Frankfurt and regularly opens for religious services and cultural programs. Visitors should check ahead to learn which days and times certain areas are accessible to the public.

The choir of the Holy Ghost Church remains the only surviving part of the original medieval structure after World War II destruction. This preserved section offers a rare glimpse of the original Gothic architecture of the complex.
