Dedicated to Saints Peter and Paul, the monastery was founded in 1122 by Gumbert von Flochberg, a local noble. It was dissolved in 1556 by order of Otto Henry, Elector Palatine. In 1672 the Jesuits from Dillingen built a summer residence on the site, which later became the property of the Order of Saint John. The present structure on the site is a parish priest's house with a gabled roof built in 1732. The enclosure wall and its gateway with a pointed arch appear to date from the 16th century. [1] [2]
