Franziskanerkloster Neunburg vorm Wald

Dedicated to Saint Francis Seraphicus, the Franciscan monastery was established in 1722. Elector Maximilian II Emanuel of Bavaria initiated its foundation at the request of the citizens of Neunburg. The Bachmayer family, whose son later became the monastery's first guardian, provided their house for the initial hospice. From 1725, the hospice developed into a full convent. The Franciscans initially used St. Jakob's cemetery church and a former cavalry barracks as their monastic buildings. A new monastery church was completed by 1725. The convent grew considerably, comprising sixteen fathers and nine lay brothers by 1762. The monastery also operated a brewery and assisted the parish priest with pastoral duties. In 1802, the monastery was dissolved as part of the secularization in Bavaria. The monks were required to leave the town before dawn, and the monastic buildings and church were sold. The church's chancel was separated and repurposed, while parts of the choir were converted into a pharmacy. Later, several monastery buildings were demolished.

The monastery is situated in Neunburg vorm Wald, a town in the district of Schwandorf in Bavaria, Germany.

Today, the majority of the former monastery building houses the Theresia-Gerhardinger-Haus, a daycare center with a crèche, kindergarten, and after-school care. A portion of the building continues to serve as a convent for the Sisters of Notre Dame. Regular services and concerts are held in the renovated monastery church.
