Monastery Mariä Verkündigung

The Monastery of the Annunciation is a Ursuline monastery in Würzburg, Bavaria, in the Diocese of Würzburg. It was founded in 1712 by the Ursuline monastery in Kitzingen, and in 1725, the Antonite Church was taken over. Despite its charitable educational work, it was dissolved in 1804 during the secularization, and all monastic property was auctioned off. In 1808, the monastery was re-established as a foundation by the Grand Duke of Tuscany, at the instigation of Auxiliary Bishop Gregor Zirkel and the population of Würzburg. The admission of novices was only permitted again in 1826, and in 1827, three candidates re-entered the order, having previously had to prove their suitability for the teaching profession before a state examination board. The St. Ursula School belongs to the monastery.
