Franziskanerinnen Abbey Reutberg

The Upper Bavarian convent, dedicated to the Annunciation of Mary, was founded in 1618 by Johann Jakob and Anna von Papafava, the lords of Reichersbeuern and Sachsenkam. Initially established as a Capuchin convent, the sisters transitioned to the Franciscans in 1651 and became affiliated with the Bavarian Franciscan Province. The Franciscan friars took over pastoral care and established a small convent, a so-called hospitium, which was expanded between 1725 and 1732. During the secularization, the sisters' convent along with the Franciscan hospice was dissolved in 1802. King Ludwig I of Bavaria approved the re-establishment of the convent in 1835 and the creation of a girls' school, which operated from 1837 to 1958. A comprehensive renovation of the convent church began in 2021 and was completed in 2025.

The Franciscan Convent Reutberg is located in the municipality of Sachsenkam in the district of Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen in Bavaria, Germany, at an altitude of approximately 719 meters above sea level.

Today, the convent complex is a popular destination. The convent and pilgrimage church of the Annunciation of Mary, which forms the south wing of the complex, was built between 1733 and 1735. The chancel features a barrel vault, modeled after the sanctuary in Loreto. Most of the interior furnishings date back to the time of construction. Additionally, a brewery cooperative has existed since 1924, succeeding the original convent brewery that operated since 1677.
