Facts and practical information

The Capuchin Monastery of Salzburg is located on the Kapuzinerberg in Salzburg, Austria.

In response to the Reformation, Prince-Archbishop Wolf Dietrich von Raitenau brought the Capuchins to Salzburg in 1596 as the second mendicant order after the Franciscans. It was precisely the simple manner of the Capuchins, which accommodated the Protestant spirit, that was to lead the citizens back to the Catholic Church. Just as the Nonnberg monastery towers over the old town, so the Capuchin monastery towers over the new town. The complex of the Capuchin monastery and church, St. Bonaventure, Trompeterschlössl and walls is a listed building and is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Historic Center of the City of Salzburg.
