    Hiking

    A Capuchin monastery had existed in Karlstadt since 1670, after the fathers and lay brothers had initially worked in the city poorhouse at the hospital church of St. James. The monastery church of St. Maria ab Angelis was completed in 1674. Around the church and monastery, the monks cultivated gardens and vineyards for self-sufficiency.

    The monastery was first dissolved in 1804 in the course of secularization through the so-called Imperial Deputation Main Closure, which made it possible for the princes to take possession of the church in their favor. However, the monastery was founded a few years later.

    The Karlstadt Capuchin monastery stood on the site of the New Town Hall until October 1974.
    Today, only a remnant of a wall and an archway from 1981 remind us …

    There used to be a monastery here.
    Until it burned down.
