history
The Adelhausen Monastery in Freiburg im Breisgau was abolished by the Baden government during the Baden Kulturkampf . Religious women with mother Elisabeth Sautier, who ran a private school in Überlingen , also had to leave their place. In 1878 they moved into new quarters in Lauterach in Vorarlberg and in 1904 they moved to Bregenz in the former Villa Raczyński, which they expanded into a monastery with a school. The monastery has been part of the Austrian Union of Dominican Sisters since 1904 .
architecture
The villa is located in a park created in 1874 on the northwest slope of the Gebhardsberg in the Dorf district. The villa itself was built from 1875 to 1877 for Count Karl Eduard Natecz Raczyński according to the plans of the architect Stefan Tragl and is still partially preserved. The casino building with billiard rooms and bowling alleys in the northeast was built from 1880 to 1881 according to the plans of the architect Romed Wacker. To the east stands a ten-axis, two-storey building with a two-axis corner projectile , pilasters and framed rectangular windows under a mansard roof , which is connected to the villa by a connecting wing across the courtyard.
The so-called Josefsbau was added to this wing of the building in 1907, a ten-axis, two-storey building with a two-axis central projection under a mansard roof. The gable niche bears a figure of St. Josef from 1907.
