The monastery was founded between 1002 and 1008 by Countess Wichburg, the wife of Count Ottwin of Sonnenburg (Pustertal), as a Benedictine nunnery, built on the site of a St. George's church and consecrated in 1023 by Archbishop Hartwig of Salzburg. The collegiate church, a Gothic church, now serves as the parish church for the local community. The monastery was used as a castle until 1884 and has since been used as a school, educational center, and hotel. The monastery complex is a protected baroque ensemble!
