The Benedictine nunnery in Remse north of Glauchau, known as the Red Stick because of the red color of the building material used, is said to have been donated by the Roman-German King Konrad III. to have been founded in 1143.
In 1543 the feudal estate passed to the Lords of Schönburg. They initially used the former monastery as a manor. The castle-like conversion took place later. After the Remse estate had remained in the Hinterglauchau line as a secondary residence for three generations, it came to the Forderglauchau line. The Remse manor belonged to the princes of Schönburg-Waldenburg until the land reform in the Soviet occupation zone in 1945 and the associated expropriation.

After the land reform, the former manor continued to be used for agriculture by the LPG. There has been an agricultural cooperative here since the end of the GDR. The "Red Floor" buildings were renovated from 1993 onwards.
Not much remains of the former monastery complex, such as the church and cloister.
