St Catharine's Convent, Augsburg

St Catharine's Convent in Augsburg, Germany was a community of Dominican nuns.

It was dissolved in 1802, and the nuns vacated the monastery in 1807.

In 1834, some of the convent buildings were re-used to house the Königliche Polytechnische Schule and a trade school.

In 1835, the former convent church was converted into the Staatsgalerie Altdeutscher Meister, a branch of the Bavarian State Painting Collections, which is still there today.

[1] In 1877, the building was taken over by a district primary school, now known as the Holbein-Gymnasium.
