    The present monastery church, the third on the same site, was built between 1732 and 1734 as the last building in the monastery renovations that began in 1696. The old Gothic church was almost completely demolished and rebuilt, enlarged by a third, so that it protruded from the cloister quadrum to the east. Since the destruction of the east and south wings of the cloister by fire in 1825, the church has only been connected to the cloister at the west gable.

    At the instigation of his wife, Jutta von Blankenburg, the noble lord Otto von Hadmersleben founded the Marienstuhl Monastery on March 14, 1259 so that consecrated virgins should serve there according to the rule of St. Bernard of Clairvaux in the Order of Cisterz. The first abbess was Mechthild von Blankenburg, the sister of Countess Jutta. The buildings of the former Cistercian convent Marienstuhl, which are still preserved today, were erected between 1696 and 1734.
