Keppel Abbey is a public high school in Hilchenbach-Allenbach. It is supported by the combined Geseke-Keppel Foundations in the special fund of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia.

Since it was founded by Friedrich vom Hain before 1236, it has had an eventful history: Keppel Abbey was a premonstratensian monastery, free-world women's monastery, collegiate school, lyceum and upper lyceum, teacher seminar and finally a coeducational high school. Until the 19th century it was under the protectorate of the Counts and Princely House of Nassau-Orange, later of the Prussian royal family. The collegiate church in its design from the 18th century with the adjoining secular buildings of the New House and the hall building with the convent hall are among the most important baroque monuments in the Siegen-Wittgenstein district.
In addition to the grammar school, there is a conference and guest house. A small museum shows the life of the canonesses and boarding school students.
