Kapuzinerkloster Eichstätt, Capuchin monastery in Eichstätt, Germany

The Kapuzinerkloster features a Late Gothic oak door at its inner portal, multiple baroque chapels along the approach path, and a prominent cross on site.

Originally established as a fortified tower called Trompeterschlösschen in medieval times, Prince-Archbishop Wolf Dietric von Raitenau converted the structure into a monastery in 1594.

The monastery maintains a strong connection to the Capuchin Order's principles of Gospel-based living, serving the community through pastoral care and spiritual guidance.

The monastery welcomes visitors from Monday through Saturday between 6 AM and 6 PM, with extended hours until 8 PM during summer months.

The monastery's strategic position at coordinates 48.8903 latitude and 11.1913 longitude provides an elevated perspective of the surrounding German landscape.
