New life in the monasteries: nursing home and shops inspire Imster downtown

New life in the monasteries: nursing home and shops inspire Imster downtown

In the heart of the downtown, a remarkable change has taken place. In the immediate vicinity of a newly opened nursing home is the monasteries, a historic building that looks towards a new phase of life after long years. With its roots in the 14th century, the Klösterle consists of a late Romanesque core building, which has been expanded several times by additions. The architect Barbara Poberschnigg from Innsbrucker Studio Lois and her team has been trying to give the old building fabric new impulses since 2015, which is now being driven further by the nearby new building.

After a decades, partially challenging dialogue between the parties, which include the religious community, the community association and the nursing home, the planning could finally be completed. The redesign of the Klösterle required nine years and numerous research studies that revealed various surprises such as old wall or historical windows. The devastating fire from 1822 is also visible in architecture, since the traces of the fire in the old ceilings are clearly read and became part of the current design.

friendly ambience for new residents

Inside the Klösterle, a friendly new building inspires, which not only created space for more than 50 new residents, but also offers day care. The interiors are characterized by their simple, bright design and the use of lots of wood. The project, which bears the name "Time of Awakening", has significantly stimulated business life in the immediate vicinity of Pfarrgasse. Another sign of the revival of the quarter are the newly based pharmacy and doctor's office as well as a crèche that has moved into another historical building in the area.

On the ground floor of the Klösterle, a farmer has set up a small farm shop in which he offers regional products almost every day. The combination of old roots and new life shows how such projects can enrich not only architecture, but also the local community. It remains to be seen how this positive trend will continue to develop in the downtown.
