The former monastery in the north-western district of St. Jöris was founded around 1274. Donated by Winrich and Jutta von Kinzweiler, the monastery was built on a clearing in the Propsteier forest. The village of St. Jöris developed around the monastery over the centuries. The name "Jöris" is another form of Georg, Saint George was the medieval patron saint of knights.

The history of the small village Sankt Jöris is closely linked to the monastery of the Cistercian nuns. The pond invites for a short break.

After the St. Jörisers had to go to the Kinzweiler parish church for a whole century following the closure of the monastery church, they received their own church in 1906, whose patron saint was St. George, the patron saint of the former monastery and the Kinzweiler knights.
