history

Count Adelbero from the house of the Counts of Kühbach (Counts of Hörzhausen) handed over his castle to Benedictine nuns in 1011 for the foundation of a monastery and had the church of St. Magnus built for this purpose. The Counts of Kühbach (Hörzhausen) came from the family of the Counts of Sempt-Ebersberg and received the Paargau from Emperor Otto I , who wanted to reduce the power of the Counts of Scheyern . Around 1160 the monastery had to be rebuilt after a fire.

Salome von Pflaumern had left the monastery with four other sisters in 1631 and then became prioress in the Benedictine Abbey of St. Mary in Fulda.

The monastery was dissolved and sold in 1803. The nuns were initially able to stay in the monastery. The monastery building adjoining the church to the west, which was later given the name "Castle", came into the possession of the Barons von Truchseß in 1803 in the course of secularization .

The south wing of the monastery building was demolished around 1820.
