Franciscan Monastery

General information:

The Franciscan Monastery, with a Gymnasium (grammar school) and comedy playhouse, stood here from 1302-1793. The grammar school’s most famous pupil was Bernhard Galura (1779-1783) from Herbolzheim, sponsor of education and theological author, who died in 1856 as the prince-bishop of Brixen, in South Tyrol.

In the Franciscan monastery garden next door, you can take a break among flowers, herbs and works of art. It is usually open during the day and offers a magnificent view of the Kaiserstuhl. The monastery garden association also organises special markets and open-air concerts.
