Former Cistercian nunnery from 1268 to 1810. After that it was mainly used for agricultural purposes and from 1950/51 also for industrial purposes. It was bought by the municipality of Bickenriede in 1994. Since then it has been restored in order to preserve the historical structure and to be able to use the buildings again.
