On the river Nied in 1128 Wiry de Valcourt founded the Cistercian monastery Sankt Gangolf (French: Saint Gengoult ) in Freistorfium (German: Freisdorf ) , which was later settled by Bishop Bertram von Metz († 1212) first with Premonstratensians, then with Cistercian women, who lived in 1414 The convent of the Marienfloss monastery . From 1446 to 1460 Irmengard von Dahlem headed the monastery as the last abbess. Then came the Cistercians again, who erected new buildings in 1740. In 1791 the monastery was dissolved and largely dismantled after the French Revolution .
