history
Until 1899 there was an estate called "Frauenbergerhof". When the monastery buildings were erected, the facility was given the name "Liebfrauenberg". The elderly and the mentally ill were cared for through the fellowship of the sisters and brothers of St. Paul . In the 2000s, the monastery, which had lost its importance in the meantime, was dissolved. The property has been sold to a private investor and has been completely renovated. In the meantime, the St. Paulus-Stift is a retirement home in the former monastery building and in a new building.
In the agricultural part of the facility there is a riding stables with horse breeding. In 2018 it was decided, in addition to multi-generational living and assisted living in the former monastery buildings, to upgrade the area for tourism with a multi-purpose hall, a space for mobile homes, tree houses for overnight stays, a climbing park and more.
