History+

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.
