In 1325, Emperor Ludwig the Bavarian founded the Carmelite monastery in Weissenburg. The construction of the monastery church and the adjacent monastery likely followed soon after. Since 1544, the church and monastery have been owned by the imperial city. The former monastery gardens, which had been used for various purposes since their deconsecration in 1544, are now open to the public after being purchased by the city of Weissenburg in 1991 and completely redesigned (1999/2000) based on historical models.
