It is therefore one of the oldest monastic foundations in Alsace. After the destruction by the Hungarians in the 10th century. and the reconstruction in the 11th century Pope Leo IX. the church of st. Mark. After the turmoil of the peasant wars and the Frz. Revolution, the monastery was finally sold as state property.
