The monastery road is a road in the Rhineland-Palatinate town Schweich on the Mosel . It runs on the edge of the Schweich city center between Brückenstraße and Mathenstraße.

The road was originally a path that branched off from Kirchgasse and led through the Wiesental in a quarter arc to the Bannmühle. It is from this time under the name Mahrweg or occupied, which indicates swampy terrain. Until the 19th century, the road was undeveloped except for the church ring in the northwest and the mill in the southeast. It was not built on in sections until the middle of the 19th century.

The name refers to the hospital built between 1867 and 1869 (today an old people's home), which was looked after by the Franciscan Sisters Waldbreitbach . The hospital was expanded in 1871/72 by a chapel and an additional wing.

The still preserved mill is located at Klosterstrasse 22. Here is a baroque-style, heavily modified new building from 1824 opposite the original Bannmühle, which is no longer used today. The mill ditch and a single-arched sandstone bridge over the Schweicher Bach remind of the mill .
