Ehem. Kreuzherrenkirche
In the Bavarian city of Memmingen stands the Ehemalige Kreuzherrenkirche, a baroque church that no longer holds services. A stucco ceiling is the centrepiece of its interior. The building was dedicated to St. Peter and Paul and belonged to the Kreuzherren monastery, also known as the Holy Spirit monastery. The complex reaches back to the thirteenth century.
The complex gained a hospital and various economic buildings over the centuries, tying it to the city's daily life. A comprehensive restoration between 1998 and 2003 renewed the entire site. Since then the former church has served as a cultural venue, and the ceiling now forms the backdrop for exhibitions and events.
Even the refectory has become a café, a cosy spot where you can pause over coffee and soak up the historic atmosphere. The room that once fed the monastery now does the same for its visitors.
