INFO board time travel:
In 1520, the last abbot of the monastery, Christoph von Hirschaid, built the Abtschlösschen as his official residence outside the cloister. The von Hirschaid family coat of arms carved in sandstone above the entrance door still bears witness to him.

These were turbulent times, so the building was surrounded by its own kennel wall. After the monastery was stormed in the Peasants' War (1525), the margrave sent an administrator who dissolved it, lived in the castle until 1743 and conducted his official business. The Margrave's state coat of arms preserved on the 2nd floor indicates this period of monastery administration and is considered a symbol of the claims to power of the Franconian margravedoms of this time. The privy bay on the south side is remarkable.

The Abtschlösschen has been privately owned since 1798 and was extensively restored in 1935/36 and 1979/80.
