history

Copper engraving of Wasserburg by Michael Wening around 1700. The monastery can be seen at the bottom left (“Q”).

The monastery, consecrated to the Lady of the Angels , was founded in 1624 by the Provost von Gars on urban land.

In 1802 it was used as a central monastery in the course of secularization , until it was finally abolished in 1806. The bailiff Georg Stadler then acquired the building. He tore down the monastery complex and converted the church into a residential building. This house changed hands several times.

With the construction of the Wasserburg secondary school at the end of the 1960s, it was finally torn down together with the last remains of the monastery complex.

A memorial on the south-east side of the school grounds, the names of the adjacent streets Klosterweg and Kapuzinerweg and the Kapuzinerinsel in the Inn, as well as the former farm yard of the monastery, which has been converted into a residential building, remind of the monastery.
