history
The foundation of the monastery took place after a deed of donation from the year 1230. Around 1400 the still preserved monastery church was built. The Reformation was introduced in 1539, followed by multiple changes of ownership and from 1758 to 1774 a noble fräuleinstift. From 1811 used by the neighboring orphanage, conversion into an estate in 1838. The monastery church used as a tobacco barn from 1957 to 1991, today the venue. The 19th century manor house on the east side of the enclosure is still used today as a school building.
