Franciscan Friary Kyritz

Kyritz, Germany · built 1303

Kyritz Friary (Franziskanerkloster Kyritz) is a former Franciscan friary in the old town of Kyritz in Brandenburg, Germany. Only a few walls and ruins remain, although the round-arched window and roof vaulting of the Early Gothic hall church are still discernible. According to a Bible kept in the town hall until about 1900, if not later, the friary church was built in 1225, although the surviving structural remains are of the second half of the 14th century. The first contemporary record of the friary dates from 1303.
