The monastery was founded in the 1120s or 1130s. Initially established as an Augustinian Canons Regular Monastery, it later developed into a collegiate church dedicated to Saint Mary. This spiritual institution shaped the religious and cultural life in Flonheim for centuries until it was dissolved in 1552 as part of the secularization.
