History+

The complex once served as a double monastery of the Premonstratensian Order. This religious community, founded in the 12th century, was characterized by a strict way of life and the combination of contemplative and pastoral work. The exact founding date and further details on the development of the monastery in Würzburg are not documented, but its existence as a double monastery points to a time when both monks and nuns lived under one roof, albeit in separate areas.
