On June 24, 1035, St. Liutger (Leodegar) Count von Lechsgmünd and Graisbach († 1074) founded the Benedictine monastery, which still exists today, at the suggestion of Bishop Heribert von Eichstätt.
Instead of the cruciform church, a Romanesque church was built under Bishop Heribert. The church is now only an abbey and pilgrimage church
