Röm.-Kath. Stadtpfarre Zistersdorf - ehemaliges Franziskanerkloster

Anuar T

The four-wing, two-storey rectory - a former Franciscan monastery in direct connection to the church - encloses a square courtyard. It was built between 1627 and 1640 and redesigned at the beginning of the 19th century. The simple facade with wide pilaster strips has a Zwettler monastery coat of arms marked 1820 above the basket arch portal. The windows on the first floor have wrought iron bars from the first quarter of the 18th century. The courtyard facade has strong pilasters and an accentuated cornice. The corridors on the courtyard side were probably originally open and have heavy groin vaults on cornice consoles. The ballroom on the upper floor has a hollow vault and is decorated with idyllic landscape frescoes from the beginning of the 19th century. The furnishings include a baroque image of St. George, a baroque figure of St. Florian, a mission cross from the first half of the 18th century and a marble pietà from the 17th century.
