Klosterkirche, Franciscan monastery in Zittau, Germany
The Klosterkirche features a two-nave hall church with a single-nave choir constructed from plastered sandstone and crowned with cross-ribbed vaults and mesh vaulting.
The monastery existed from 1260 to 1543, serving as a residence for the Prague cathedral chapter from 1421 to 1437 during their exile.
The church contains wooden galleries with decorated console cornices in the choir section and a baroque altar adorned with gilded woodcarvings from 1668.
The former monastery buildings now house the Municipal Museums of Zittau while the church serves as a parish church for the Evangelical Lutheran congregation.
The monastery courtyard functions as a cemetery, containing numerous magnificent burial vaults built between 1675 and 1725.
