When the monastery was dissolved in 1783 under Joseph II, the influence of the Benedictines ended and the old walls were left to themselves. Exactly one hundred years later, a fire devastated the place and with it the monastery. Revitalization work has been taking place since 1991.

Today, the former ruins are Arnoldstein's cultural center, where civil weddings, celebrations, conferences and various cultural events such as concerts, readings and exhibitions also take place.

Former Benedictine monastery built on the ruins of an old castle, which burned down to its foundations in the 19th century. It has been restored by volunteers for over 30 years and offers extraordinary impressions and views of the mountains. The association runs a small museum on the monastery hill.
