Hotel Couvent Du Franciscain - France, Strasbourg Hostel

The first Franciscan monastery was built around 1220 in an area of drained swamps. It was a small building with an oratory called Allerheiligen.

A large farm was built behind this building in order to provide for the monastery. In 1230, the big monastery of Franciscains was built Place Kleber where the Aubette buildings used to be.

In 1369, the city of Strasbourg built a hotel and almshouse to accommodate poor travelers in the rue du Faubourg de Pierre, close to the Franciscain monastery.

Since the vocation of the Franciscain Order was to assist the poor, the city of Strasbourg entrusted the management of this hotel to them.

In 1525, the Reformation led to the closing of all the monasteries of the city, but the people in the Faubourg de Pierre district kept calling this hotel Zum Fransikaner.

The building was sold to a private individual who turned it into an inn, and the small monastery as well as the oratory were torn down and turned into houses.

We have very comfortable rooms with Bath / Shower / WC, Telephone, TV (satellite), safe, hairdryer, lift and private car park.
