History+

The origins of the monastery court are closely linked to the Benedictine monastery of Neustadt am Main, which served as a spiritual and economic center of the region. The court was used to supply the monastery and administer its lands. Over the centuries, it underwent various construction phases and changes in use, which shaped its current appearance. After the secularization of the monastery in the early 19th century, the court lost its original function but remained preserved as a historical ensemble.
