In the former Dominican monastery until summer 2017, a clinic for cancer patients was housed. This is now closed.

The building is apparently empty, but the entire property makes a neat impression.

The name of Paradise goes back to a Dominican convent established in 1253, which was first mentioned in this year as Paradyso.

The courtyard on which this convent was set up by the Soest Dominican monastery "Zum Heiligen Kreuz" was previously called Alvoldinchusen (with the typical Saxon and regional name ending -inchusen, today -ingsen). The monastery became famous through Grimmelshausen's novel The adventurous Simplicissimus. The monastery building, which has fallen into disrepair over the past two centuries, has been extensively restored in recent years with the support of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia and now houses a private oncological health center
