Kloster

The Franciscan monastery complex includes multiple buildings with stone walls, arched corridors, and a central courtyard surrounded by a covered walkway.

Founded in 1221, this monastery stands as the earliest existing Franciscan establishment north of the Alps, surviving through centuries of changes in Würzburg.

The monastery maintains a library containing historical documents and hosts regular religious services, educational programs, and community gatherings throughout the year.

Visitors can access guided tours of the monastery, participate in meditation sessions, and explore the courtyard that serves as a passage through the old town.

The monastery operates its own enterprises including bakeries and bookstores, contributing to its self-sustaining model while serving the local community.
