The Monks Church or Franciscan Monastery Church is a church in Jüterbog. The church was part of the Franciscan monastery. It is located south of Am Frauentor street and north of Mönchenstraße on Mönchenkirchplatz. A library and an event center have been located in the church since 1985.

Towards the end of the 15th century, the Franciscans collected with the permission of the Brandenburg bishop Arnold von Burgsdorf for a monastery building in Jüterbog. They were very welcome there after the great city fire of 1478. The monastery was built on the northern city wall and was completed in 1510.

During the Wars of Liberation, the church was used as a warehouse in 1812 and 1813. This damaged the interior. It was restored until 1820. In 1914 the town of Jüterbog became the owner of the church. The parish continued to have the right of use, the maintenance costs were shared. Regular services were held until the 1920s, and the parish continued to use the church. In 1970 the church was abandoned for church services and used as a warehouse, which led to ruin. From 1980 the church was rebuilt. Since 1985 it has been used as a library, theater and concert venue.
