The Capuchin monastery Vilshofen is a former monastery of the Capuchins in Vilshofen on the Danube in Bavaria in the diocese of Passau.

history

The Capuchins were called to Vilshofen in 1638 to hear their sermons on fasting . The monastery consecrated to St. Vitus was founded in 1642. On May 17, 1644, the foundation stone for the monastery was laid. On April 23, 1651, the monastery church was inaugurated by Passau's auxiliary bishop Ulrich.

After the fire in the Vilshofen parish church in 1794, the monastery church also served as the parish church. The monastery was dissolved in 1802 in the course of secularization . The convent was "transported" to Wasserburg am Inn . The building and part of the garden were acquired by the brewer Johann Georg Wieninger (1746–1827) in 1804, together with the possession of the collegiate monastery , which had also been repealed ; the other part was given to the district judge Schattenhofer as a salary. The monastery and church were later partially destroyed.
