In 1518 Schwabelsberg Castle, which was probably built in the 14th or 15th century, was acquired by Prince Abbot Rudolf von Raitnau . A short time later it became the seat of the Franciscan Sisters of St. Anna. Around 1658 a prince abbot had the building converted into a monastery. After the destruction of the monastery in Kempten, Schwabelsberg served as the seat of the convent. The dilapidated St. Anna chapel was rebuilt under Prince Abbot Engelbert von Syrgenstein .
