        The Höchst Monastery in Höchst in the Odenwald was a former branch monastery of the Augustinian Sisters founded between 1177 and 1244 by the Fulda Monastery over its Breuberg Castle property. In 1503 the last remaining nun left the monastery, which was replaced by Benedictine nuns in 1511. The monastery complex has been owned by the Evangelical Church in Hesse and Nassau since 1957. In 1962, the Evangelical Youth Center Kloster Höchst moved into the property. The former monastery has served as a youth education center since 2004.
