      It was built around 1260 and used as a granary and barn from 1531 after the monastery was destroyed. Since 1966 as a local history museum.

        Historically interesting complex, which is worth a detour even on a racing bike.
        The spa park behind it also has its charms.
        History: Only ruins of the actual monastery complex remain; the foundations of the monastery were uncovered between 1840 and 1906. One of the most important excavators from 1892 onwards was Paul Baethcke, who had previously worked as a pastor in Schwarzhausen.
