During the Peasants' War of 1525, the church and monastery were partially destroyed, mainly by insurgents operating from Gutenstetten, and Abbot Christoph von Hirschaid was captured. The "Monica", the largest bell in the church of the vacant monastery, which was cast on behalf of Abbot Wilhelm (1452-1495), who also arranged for the renovation of all the monastery buildings, was cast by the Abenberg family. The monastery, whose reconstruction initially had to be carried out by the Gutenstetteners, was dissolved in 1528/1529 in the course of the Reformation and in 1540 a monastery office was set up for administration. The monastery church has been used as a Lutheran parish church since 1530.
