The monastery with the patronage of the Annunciation was founded in 1618 by Johann Jakob and Anna von Papafava , court lords of Reichersbeuern and Sachsenkam, initially as a Capuchin convent . The members of the order switched to the Franciscan Sisters in 1651 and were incorporated into the Bavarian Franciscan Province . It ran a famous pharmacy since 1668. The monastery was dissolved in 1803 in the course of secularization . The church and monastery building were preserved. On August 2, 1835, King Ludwig I of Bavaria allowed the re-establishment of the monastery and the establishment of a girls' school , which existed from 1837 to 1958.
