The nunnery of Schlüsselau was a place of female mysticism, of inner concentration and immersion in the pursuit of a personal union with God. Here many women in society sought and found a life of asceticism and chastity. They had voluntarily turned their backs on the world and chosen monastic life as an alternative to family responsibilities. On average, around 20 nuns lived here, mostly of noble origin.

The pilgrimage to the extremely rarely revered "Painful Trinity" goes to Schlüsselau. Here Eberhard von Schlüsselberg founded a Cistercian monastery with a monastery church in 1280. When the family of the noble nobles von Schlüsselberg died out in 1347, the monastery had to struggle with financial difficulties and looting. In 1554 the Cisterze came into the possession of the Bishopric of Bamberg. After the expansion of the church as a parish and pilgrimage church, pilgrimages to the Sorrowful Trinity, as depicted in the miraculous image, began in 1603.
