The history of Sulzburg Abbey begins with an initial mention in 993, with an official foundation or confirmation as a monastery around 1110. It was dedicated to Saint Cyriacus and was a convent of Benedictine nuns. Over the centuries, it shaped the spiritual and cultural life of its surroundings. The existence of the monastery ended in two phases: it was dissolved and secularized between 1523 and 1556 during the Reformation.
