After Willibald's death, his sister, Saint Walburga, took over the management of the monastery as a double monastery for men and women.
The first church was built and consecrated in 778. From 878 to 1188, a new Romanesque building with a nave and transept was constructed as St. Wunibald's Minster, which was expanded with a Gothic choir in 1363.
