Minoritenkirche Regensburg, Franciscan monastery at Dachauplatz, Regensburg, Germany.
Minoritenkirche is a monastery and church in Regensburg featuring Gothic architecture with pointed arches, stone vaults, and large windows that flood the interior with light. The building stands as one of the largest mendicant order churches in German-speaking territories.
Construction began around 1255 and the church evolved into one of the most important religious buildings in the city. The structure reflects the long connection between mendicant orders and Regensburg's religious and urban life.
The monastery now houses the Historical Museum of Regensburg, where exhibitions and objects tell the story of the city's past. Visitors find a place where religious space and urban history come together.
The entrance is located at Dachauplatz 2-4 and is wheelchair accessible through the western portal. The building remains closed during winter months except for special events.
During winter 2023-2024, the church hosted GENESIS II, an immersive art installation by the Zurich artist group Projektil. This contemporary intervention brought modern perspectives into the historic space.
