Augustinian Monastery, Freiburg, Medieval monastery in Old Town, Freiburg, Germany

The Augustinian Monastery features Gothic architecture with a church, cloister, and stone walls displaying prophets from Freiburg Cathedral.

Founded in 1278 under Count Egino II's authorization, the monastery served Augustinian monks until 1783 when German mediatization led to its closure.

The monastery transformed into the Augustinermuseum in 1923, presenting medieval art, stained glass, and regional artifacts from southern Germany.

The museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 to 17:00, with regular admission at 7 euros and reduced tickets at 5 euros.

Archaeological investigations in 1982 uncovered glass, pottery, leather, and textiles dating from the 13th to 15th centuries within the monastery grounds.
