Ursulinenkloster Fritzlar, Ursuline monastery in Fritzlar, Germany.

The Ursuline monastery stands near the cathedral with its distinctive baroque architecture designed by Giovanni Francesco Guerniero in 1719.

Founded in 1711, the monastery replaced a former Augustinian convent from 1254 that operated a hospital for the poor since 1145.

The Ursuline sisters dedicated themselves to education, operating the Ursuline School from 1712 to 1989 for students from France and German-speaking regions.

The monastery building at Neustädter Straße 39 in Fritzlar remained active until 2003 when the last sisters moved to different convents.

During the Seven Years War, French military officers provided financial support to the monastery when it faced economic difficulties.
