history
The monastery consecrated to St. Katherina was founded in 1290 by the Würzburg Carmelites. They built it on loaned or donated land from the former Hohenstaufen court estate on the Wörnitzfurt. It was dissolved in 1803 in the course of secularization . After the abolition of the monastery, the buildings housed a brewery, a salt store, an evangelical children's institution and a secondary school for daughters.
In 1812 the Protestant parish received the monastery property and the Carmelite Church through purchase. The old church was demolished in 1839. From 1840 to 1843 a new main Protestant church was built on the foundations in the classicist style. The inauguration took place on November 19, 1843. In 1924 the church building was named St. Paul. The former monastery building now houses the parish hall of the Evangelical Lutheran parish, the Protestant kindergarten St. Paul and the vocational school for music of the Middle Franconia district.
