1. Franziskanerkloster Alter Friedhof St. Sebastian Marker
Bischof Heinrich von Knöringen gründete 1628 im Zuge der Gegenreformation in Füssen ein Franziskanerkloster. Von Georg Schmutzer aus Wessobrunn wurde dann die ehemalige Pfarrkirche St. Stephan zu einer Klosterkirche umgestaltet. Nach Abbruch erbaute 1763-1765 der Architekt Franz Karl Fischer diese Kirche neu. Ab 1528 wurde ein Gottesacker am erweiterten Stadtmauerring angelegt. Der „Alte Friedhof" mit der Kirche St. Sebastian stellt heute einen Ort der Ruhe und des Gedenkens, ein eindrückliches historisches Ensemble dar.
Bemerkenswertes:
Grabmal von Domenico Quaglio (1787-1837), dem Architekten von Schloss Hohenschwangau, das Kronprinz Maximilian stiftete.
