Kapuzinerkloster St. Sebastian, Augsburg, Romanesque Revival monastery and church in Augsburg, Germany

Kapuzinerkloster St. Sebastian is a Capuchin monastery with the church of St. Sebastian in Augsburg-Oberhausen, right of the Wertach. The church, built 1907–1909 in Romanesque Revival style, is a three-nave pillar basilica with a recessed choir and a roof turret, its interior painted with Art Nouveau frescoes. The monastery grounds are enclosed on three sides by the MAN factory site and border Sebastianstraße on the fourth.

An earlier chapel at this site was built by Elias Holl between 1611 and 1612 but was destroyed by Swedish forces in 1632 during the Thirty Years War. The present monastery building was constructed two centuries later as a new structure on the same location.

The church keeps the name of Saint Sebastian, to whom the 1611–1612 plague chapel was dedicated. Inside stands an over-life-size Madonna by Hans Degler, and the relics of Saints Wolfhard of Augsburg and Lucius of Chur, brought from Chur by Bishop Heinrich in 1602, rest here. Once a month the Croatian congregation holds services in the Slavic-Byzantine rite, in German.

The church today serves the St. Georg parish and the Croatian community, which conducts monthly services in the Slavic-Byzantine rite. Visitors should note that the monastery grounds are enclosed on three sides by MAN factory buildings and are accessible only from Sebastian Street.

The relics of Saints Wolfhard of Augsburg and Lucius of Chur came to Augsburg in 1602, brought from Chur by Bishop Heinrich V von Knöringen. When the first Capuchin monastery was dissolved in 1809 they were taken to Dillingen an der Donau, and in 1858 they returned to Augsburg for the new Capuchin house at St. Sebastian.
