The monastery office barn was built by the monastery building yard before 1816.
The original purpose was to store and dry timber for the monastery building yard. It was used as a so-called monastery magazine until 1938.

Seed house
According to the previously known documentary evidence for the seed house, it was built in 1825 by the monastery building yard.
However, individual finds during the renovation work suggest an older construction period. In the seed house, the laying out and drying of pine cones was used to produce seeds for the monastery's own forest. At the same time it served as a house for forest workers.
The building has been privately owned since 2002 and has been lovingly and professionally restored. From now on it will be used for residential purposes.
Forest Office Monastery
This building was built in 1804 by the monastery office as a house with two apartments. From 1820 it was used as a forest inspector's house for the forester's yard of the monastery.
Because of the increasing monastery forests with their many districts
and the decades of successful forest management, the monastery forest office was set up by the monastery captain VICTOR VON OERTZEN in 1830.
