An ensemble of Bergisch half-timbered houses has been preserved, buildings of the old monastery complex are used for agricultural or residential purposes.

The place was named after Saint Cyriacus, a saint who is also common elsewhere in the Rhineland.

There is said to have been a chapel of grace dedicated to the saint, which was heavily frequented by processions and individual pilgrims and which was said to have numerous miracles. Therefore, the Siegburg Abbey under Abbot Gottfried II seemed to find the location suitable for a provost. The monastery was founded in 1256.
