On the Selztal cycle path between Mauchenheim and Morschheim it goes quite high to the vineyards where the monastery ruins are somewhat hidden. You can take a break there. Table and bench are ready. There is also a kneibb basin there.

The monastery was probably founded in the early to mid-13th century. The founders of the monastery were the Truchsess von Alzey. The first documentary mention was made in 1247. The monastery was incorporated into the Disibodenberg monastery that supervised it. However, the visitations were carried out from 1265 by the Eberbach monastery, to whose filiation Disibodenberg belonged.

The monastery was sponsored by the von Löwenstein family. In 1248 they transferred the tithe and the patronage of the parish church of Spiesheim. From 1296 the monastery is the family burial place.

A monastery was built here in 1247 and converted into a farm in 1566

Today only this reconstructed monastery wall remains
