Klosterkirche, Jesuit church in Aschaffenburg, Germany

The Jesuitenkirche Heiligste Dreifaltigkeit is a single-nave church built in 1619–1621 in a plain local Renaissance style, with an octagonal roof turret on slanted piers, a semicircular apse with dome vault, lantern and covered gallery. Its facade has corner rustication in a running-bond pattern, round niches with figures of Christ Salvator and the Immaculata flanking the round-arched portal, and a cartouche with Christ's monogram held by angels. The interior, in Italian Baroque style, keeps rich stucco work.

Elector-Archbishop Johann Schweikhard von Cronberg called the Jesuits to his second residence, Aschaffenburg, in 1612 and assigned them income from the dissolved Himmelthal Cistercian convent. The church was built from 1619 to 1621. In 1796 it served as a warehouse, in 1810 it was converted into a study church and its altars were removed, and in the Second World War it was badly damaged. The city acquired the building and rebuilt it, deconsecrated, by 1972.

The building is no longer used for worship: since 1990 it has housed the Kunsthalle Jesuitenkirche, which shows about two exhibitions a year, mainly Classical Modernism and established contemporary positions. Artists shown here include Oskar Kokoschka, Man Ray, Jörg Immendorff and Günther Uecker. Since 2023 the exhibitions for the city's art prize, endowed with 5,000 euros, are also held here.

The building is no longer a consecrated church but the Kunsthalle Jesuitenkirche, so there are no services; it is open to exhibition visitors. It shares a cubic glass entrance with the east wing of the former Jesuit convent, which houses the Christian Schad Museum. Two exhibitions a year are shown, and the Kunstpreis der Stadt Aschaffenburg, endowed with 5,000 euros, is exhibited here.

The church has no bells: its roof carries an octagonal ridge turret with slanted pillars, and the round-arched windows have straight tops. Since 1990 the former Jesuit church has served as the Kunsthalle Jesuitenkirche, showing about two exhibitions a year, and it shares a cubic glass entrance with the Christian Schad Museum in the adjoining east wing of the former convent.
