Guided Story
Here you are, standing before the St. Johann im Gnadenthal Monastery Church, a splendid showcase of late Gothic architecture. Notice the single-nave design, crafted around 1487 under the guidance of master builder Mörsheimer. The Baroque extensions, starting around 1605, add a rich layer of historical depth to the structure. As you look up, the distinctive roof turret catches the eye, completing the architectural ensemble. This church is not only a place of worship but also a heritage monument in Bavaria, part of the Franciscan convent founded back in 1276. Take a moment to appreciate the intricate details of the portal, which underwent Baroque modifications around 1697/98.
