Kloster Wörishofen, Dominican monastery in Bad Wörishofen, Germany.

The monastery complex includes a baroque hall church named Maria, Queen of Angels, with a high altar and side altars decorated in different wood types.

Founded in 1243 through a donation to the Dominican Order, the monastery received its first sisters from St. Katharina in Augsburg on July 24, 1718.

The monastery played an educational role in the community by managing a girls' school for the parish and establishing several educational institutions over time.

The former school and boarding house building was converted into a health resort facility in 1981, now operated by Kolpingwerk since 2005.

French soldiers occupied the monastery in May 1800, leading to its secularization in 1802, yet the sisters received permission to remain without accepting new novices.

Inception: 1243
