history

In 1231, Count Gottfried von Sigmaringen confirmed the purchase of a number of goods belonging to the nuns of Boos Baindt from Albrecht von Büttelschieß . The monastery was built in 1240 after a donation from Konrad von Winterstetten . In 1376, the Baindt nunnery received the status of an imperial abbey . In spiritual matters, the Abbot of Salem acted as the abbot .

The monastery was burned down in the Peasants' War in 1525. Even after it was destroyed again in the Thirty Years War, religious life was resumed in 1649. From 1764 to 1766 the monastery church was made Baroque . In 1802 the imperial abbey was dissolved in the course of secularization and became the property of the Count of Aspremont-Lynden .

The Abbey Church of Our Lady became a parish church in 1817. In 1841 the demolition of the convent began, in 1842 the remains of the monastery donors were transferred to the parish church. Images from a cycle of Christ's miracles on the Baindter Altarpiece , designed by an unknown master around 1460, can be found today in various museums, for example in the State Gallery in Stuttgart, in the Alte Pinakothek in Munich or in the Kunsthaus Zürich . In 1903 the Franciscan nuns from Heiligenbronn bought the former guest house of the monastery. From 1988 to 1989 the former abbey church was extensively restored.
