    Marienzell Monastery, on the banks of the Querne River not far from the castle, was the most important of the six monasteries founded by the rulers of Querfurt. The Benedictine monastery was originally located at Lautersburg Castle near Lodersleben, seven kilometers away, from 1120 onwards. In 1146, it was relocated here to Eilwardesdorf for security reasons. The monastery included a large church dedicated to the Virgin Mary and Saint Brun of Querfurt. The convent was dissolved around 1558. Today, only an information board remains at the site of the original monastery. However, the "Saint Bruno" vineyard opposite, cultivated by the monks, has been preserved.
