Franziskanerkloster Schwarzenberg, Franciscan monastery in Scheinfeld, Germany.

The Schwarzenberg monastery features a church constructed in 1732 according to plans by architect Balthasar Neumann with a prominent stone altar from 1746.

The monastery originated from a small wooden chapel built in 1670 by Countess Maria Justina of Schwarzenberg at the intersection of Old Bamberger Street.

The monastery maintains daily prayer schedules, including meditation at 6:30 AM, lauds at 7:00 AM, and vespers at 5:45 PM throughout the week.

The education center, established in 1968, provides 70 guest beds and offers various seminars, courses, and lectures for visitors seeking spiritual guidance.

A fire in 1960 destroyed substantial parts of the monastery, but the valuable library collection remained largely intact through preservation efforts.
