Franziskanerinnenkloster Dillingen an der Donau, Franciscan monastery in Dillingen an der Donau, Bavaria, Germany.

The monastery complex includes residential quarters for sisters, visitor facilities, and a church designed by Johann Georg Fischer in Baroque style.

Count Hartmann IV of Dillingen and his son donated land to a Beguine community in 1241, establishing the foundation for the current monastery.

The monastery functions as the motherhouse for Franciscan Sisters who maintain educational institutions and social support programs in the region.

Located adjacent to the medieval city wall, the monastery underwent complete structural renovation in 2005 to address issues from centuries of modifications.

The congregation extends beyond Germany with approximately 640 members serving communities across southern Germany, the United States, Brazil, and India.
