The museum has not existed for years.

After several changes of ownership, it was acquired by the Sisters of Mercy from St. Charles Borromeo in 1882 , and in 1883 they opened an orphanage and a primary school there. In 1897 a new building was built, which is characterized as a monumental late-historical four-wing structure , and in 1902 a monastery church was built.
