Around 1250, brothers of the Franciscan order, which was established in 1210, founded a convent in Saalfeld. The monastery, which was part of the Saxon Franciscan Province, was first mentioned in a document on June 16, 1265. A church built in 1293 in the style of a mendicant order church belonged to the monastery. As a result of the Reformation, the Franciscans had to leave the monastery and town in 1534. The church was initially used as a Lutheran house of worship, later the building served profane purposes. A Latin school was set up in the monastery building. Since 1999 it has exclusively housed the Saalfeld City Museum in the Franciscan monastery.
