    On various days there was coffee and homemade cake here.

    There was also a small shop integrated into the monastery. Unfortunately, both are no longer open.

      The Altenberg monastery is a former Premontratsian monastery. In 1167 a chapel dedicated to Archangel Gabriel was built on the Old Mountain by priest Gottfried von Beselich. The monastery was built around this chapel in 1170. Abbot Engelbert sent out twelve Wülfersberg virgins who converted the Michel chapel into a monastery.

      In 1192 Emperor Friedrich Barbarossa gave the monastery imperial immediacy.
