Franziskanerkloster Annaberg, Franciscan monastery in Annaberg-Buchholz, Germany.

Franziskanerkloster Annaberg is a monastery complex with Gothic architecture situated on a northern slope of the town, featuring multiple connected wings and building sections. The structure contains residential and service areas across several levels, along with underground cellars and communal spaces for the monastic community.

The monastery was established in 1502 at the urging of Georg the Bearded, Duke of Saxony and founder of Annaberg, a determined opponent of Lutheran teaching. Construction dragged on and was unfinished in 1509, yet the Saxon Franciscan province held its provincial chapter here in August 1512. Friedrich Myconius, later a reformer, entered the convent in 1510. Duke Henry of Saxony dissolved it in 1539 after the Reformation, and the nine remaining friars left the town.

The monastery's library passed to the town council in 1539, then to the St. Annenkirche and in 1558 to the town's Latin school; after World War II it returned to the parish and now forms about a fifth of the church library's holdings. The "Schöne Tür", an indulgence portal carved by Hans Witten, was moved to the St. Annenkirche in 1577, and the main altar has stood in the Buchholz St. Katharinenkirche since 1594.

The monastery no longer exists as a religious house; its site lies at the northern edge of Annaberg's old town, where the steep drop to the Sehmatal begins. The area is now occupied by the five-storey classicist Röhlingsche Fabrik, which housed the district court until 2012 and now serves as the Annaberg tax office, together with the former Bergmagazin. Remains of the monastery church choir are still visible in the later buildings.

The monastery's library outlasted the friars: handed to the town council in 1539, it passed to the St. Annenkirche and in 1558 to the town's Latin school. After World War II it returned to the parish and now makes up about a fifth of the church library's holdings.
