The origins of the Franciscan Friary Kornbühl date back to the early 18th century. In 1706, the foundation stone for the monastery was laid, subsequently serving as a spiritual hub for the Franciscan friars. Over the centuries, it shaped the religious life of the region before losing its original function during secularization.
