Kloster Gotteszell, Dominican monastery in Schwäbisch Gmünd, Germany.
The monastery complex features religious architecture from the 13th century with later additions resembling palace design elements from the 18th century.
Founded in 1240, Kloster Gotteszell operated as a Dominican women's monastery until its dissolution in 1803 during the secularization movement in Germany.
The monastery primarily served unmarried women from noble families in the region, maintaining strong connections with the Imperial City of Schwäbisch Gmünd.
The former monastery buildings now house the Schwäbisch Gmünd women's correctional facility, with the monastery church serving as the prison chapel.
The monastery survived multiple conflicts, including the Städtekrieg in 1449 and attacks by Hessian soldiers in 1546, requiring extensive reconstruction efforts.
