Capuchin Monastery of St. Alfons

Capuchins moved in in the middle of the 17th century by the Hug brothers , the bailiffs of the Landser lordship . During the French Revolution, the convent was driven out. The convent buildings were sold as state property but fell into disrepair over the next few years. In 1842 the Redemptorists bought the building. They repaired it and built a new chapel. In 1873 the German authorities closed the monastery and it stood empty again for many years. In 1929 the monastery was given to Redemptorists . Some renovations were carried out, among other things the main building was increased by one floor. The Redemptorists settled in the monastery in 1931. With the exception of the war years, they worked there until today and, in addition to prayer, they deal with the production of hosts and images of saints, with bookbinding and gardening. The mill ("Klostermühl") located a little north of the monastery at Ibenbach has long been out of service and is now part of the Don Bosco farm.
