Franciscan monastery Füssen, Catholic monastery in Füssen, Germany

The Franciscan monastery features a church dedicated to Saint Stephen, positioned on an elevated area at the eastern edge of Füssen.

Heinrich von Knoeringen, Prince-Bishop of Augsburg, and Abbot Martin of St. Mang established the monastery in 1628 with monks from Reutte, Tyrol.

German language songs during mass services at St. Stephen's Church made the Franciscan ceremonies particularly valued among local residents.

The monastery, located at Franziskanerplatz 1 in Füssen, underwent extensive renovations after the Diocese of Augsburg acquired ownership in 1979.

The complex included a brewery constructed in 1662 and a distillery added in 1695, expanding beyond its religious functions.
