Bishop Burchard I of Halberstadt gave the monastery its name: he consecrated the chapel of St. Nicholas in 1036. After the cathedral burned down in 1060, he was buried in this chapel, which became part of the monastery complex much later. In 1186, the Premonstratensians moved there. They were soon replaced by Templars, who founded a commandery here. In 1206, the Templars moved to the monastery of St. Thomae at the Breiten Tor, whereupon the Cistercians took over the monastery in 1208. Due to overcrowding, several nuns went to the Adersleben monastery in the middle of the 13th century.
During the Thirty Years' War, the monastery was plundered in 1631 and 1632, and in one case the abbess and nuns were abducted by the Swedes. There were also three floods in the 18th century. In the following years, flooding of the buildings and farmstead, as well as the monastery church, from the Holtemme river caused considerable disruption in some cases. There were also several fire disasters.
In the course of secularization, the monastery was closed and sold on October 1, 1810 by decision of the authorities of the Kingdom of Westphalia.
