The monastery's foundation dates back to the Order of Augustinian Hermits, who settled in Dillingen. Over the centuries, the monastery served as a center of spiritual life and education. Bavaria's eventful history, particularly the secularization at the beginning of the 19th century, led to the dissolution of many ecclesiastical institutions, including this monastery, whose buildings were subsequently repurposed.
