Capuchin Monastery & Capuchin Church, Salzburg
The Capuchin Monastery and Capuchin Church in Salzburg were built in the most prominent location imaginable: on a rocky outcrop of the Kapuzinerberg, named after the monastery, which was originally known as Imberg (and is still called that today). There are two routes leading to the Capuchin Monastery: One is via the Imbergstiege, which begins at Steingasse. This is a romantic, albeit steep, staircase that also leads past the small church of St. Johannes im Berg.

For over 400 years, the Capuchin Monastery has been an optical and spiritual place high above the city of Salzburg. The monastery church on Kapuzinerberg was consecrated in 1602. The church is dedicated to Saints Francis of Assisi and John Bonaventura.

“…The monastery church on Kapuzinerberg was consecrated in 1602. The church bears the double patronage of St. Francis of Assisi and St. John Bonaventure. The well-known ten relief depictions that decorate the oak door of the monastery church and were made around 1450 probably come from the old Romanesque cathedral. …”
