About this audio guide
This guide to Zum Franziskaner in Füssen follows the name over the door back to the Franciscan friars who arrived in town in the sixteen-twenties, sworn to poverty and meant to live on alms. It touches the Thirty Years' War, a Prince-Bishop's purse, and the very practical question of how a begging order pays for its roof. Best heard on the terrace by the Mädchenbrunnen fountain, with a glass in hand.
