The monastery of Dirmstein was founded in 1418, initially as a provostry for the Augustinian Canons. Over time, the Jesuit order took over the complex, which subsequently served as a Jesuit residence. This acquisition marked a significant change in the use and orientation of the building, which fulfilled a religious function for centuries.
