history

The Archbishop of Cologne Philip I von Heinsberg confirmed in a document in 1179 the fief of a "desert court on the Ruhr" to the "custelhergensis ecclesia". However, the nuns are first mentioned in a document in 1275. In 1294, Grafschaft Monastery transferred its main courtyard in Glindfeld to Küstelberg Monastery . In return, the nuns undertook to choose their provost from Kloster Grafschaft.

On March 12, 1297, the Archbishop of Cologne, Wigbold von Holte, commissioned the abbot of the Luitbert von Rödinghausen monastery to move the Augustinian nuns from Küstelberg monastery to Glindfeld. This then took place in 1299. The funds were insufficient for the construction of the monastery church, so that donations were repeatedly called for. The church could only be completed after 1338. Started in the Romanesque style , it was redesigned into a Gothic hall church during the construction .

In 1302 the Augustinian convent "novo Quistelberg" and in 1339 "St. Maria in Glyntfelde “. The provost was elected from Kloster Grafschaft.

Despite individual donations, the monastery was considered extremely poor throughout the 14th century. The monastery received income from sheep breeding (1361/62), from various ponds and mills in the later desert areas of Ahusen near Medebach and Wernsdorf near Winterberg and another one at the mill pond.

The economic difficulties meant that important monastery goods had to be sold again and again. Towards the end of the 15th century, the monastery deteriorated more and more due to mismanagement and insufficient administration. In 1499 only two nuns lived in the monastery. At their request, Archbishop Hermann of Cologne transferred the monastery to the Order of the Cross. The two nuns and the provost received an annuity.

In 1694 the south wing of the monastery was rebuilt and in the 18th century the so-called new wing was built with the inclusion of old cellar vaults. After the abolition of the monastery, the church and the old east wing were demolished after 1804. The monastery property was sold in 1821. In the remaining buildings there was a forestry office until 1995. The owner of Gut Glindfeld built the Villa Hohe Mirke, also known as the castle, on the estate around 1900. The Medebach cultural ring organizes concerts, theater performances and art exhibitions there.
