Franziskanerinnenkloster Ingolstadt, Gnadenthal

The Gnadenthal monastery includes multiple buildings dedicated to religious life, education, and community service within the Diocese of Eichstätt in Bavaria.

Founded in 1276 by Diemuth Trailacher and Margareta von Puch, the monastery began as a women's community focused on caring for poor and sick individuals.

The Franciscan sisters maintain educational institutions and conduct social services, extending their influence from Germany to international locations including Brazil.

Visitors can participate in daily prayer sessions, attend spiritual retreats, and explore the monastery grounds through scheduled guided tours throughout the year.

During the Thirty Years' War, the monastery provided shelter to multiple religious communities while maintaining its own activities through local support.
