The Friar Conrad Museum in Altötting

The Friar Conrad Wing is obviously influenced by Friar Conrad, and you can literally feel the spirit of the Saint. You can visit the Old Gate and various meeting rooms on the ground floor, so you may get to know the "Saint of Everyday Life" better. The death cell of Friar Conrad is on the upper floor. Apart from the Old Gate, this is the most important room at the Friar Conrad Monastery. This is where he spent his last three days, and the only photo of Friar Conrad was taken on his deathbed.

The Papal Wing at the Friar Conrad Museum stretches all along the Friar Conrad Church to a meditation oasis at the end of the wing. The reason for this very special name is that  Pope John Paul II spent the night there when he visited Altötting in 1980. Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, who later became Pope Benedict XVI, stayed in the adjacent room. Next to the Papal Wing is the entrance to the Capuchin crypt where Friar Conrad was buried in 1894. In 1912 he was finally laid to rest in the monastery church. The Friar Conrad Treasure Chamber is also located in this wing, the main pieces of which are a wax figure of the Saint and Friar Conrad’s original Capuchin coat.
