Franziskanerkloster, Regional museum in Neubrandenburg, Germany

The Franziskanerkloster is a former Franciscan monastery in Neubrandenburg whose surviving buildings now house the regional museum. The former monastery church St. Johannis is a two-aisled brick structure with a tall polygonal choir, built from the 1320s; the refectory in the north wing, rebuilt in the 14th century, is the best-preserved convent building.

The monastery was founded in 1260 as a Franciscan settlement and served the religious community. After a major city fire in 1355, the building was fundamentally rebuilt.

The former Franciscan monastery now houses most of the Regional Museum, with permanent and temporary exhibitions in the surviving convent buildings. The refectory and the former monastery church of St. Johannis are the best-preserved parts. The Fangelturm in the northern town wall is called the Mönchenturm because of its proximity to the monastery.

The museum offers guided tours during special events such as Doors Open Day, allowing visitors to explore the building and exhibitions. It is helpful to check current opening hours in advance, as these may vary by season.

The Fangelturm in the northern town wall is called the "Mönchenturm" (Monks' Tower) because of its proximity to the monastery. The first church, built around 1260, was of fieldstone; a section of it survives in the north wall of the later brick church.
