The foundation of the Franciscan Observant monastery in Wittlich took place in 1642. For over a century and a half, the monks shaped the religious and cultural life of the area. The monastery's existence concluded with the secularization, which occurred around 1802, leading to the dissolution of many ecclesiastical institutions.
