The foundation of Eilversdorf Monastery took place no later than the beginning of the 12th century. It was run by the Benedictine order and played a role in the spiritual life of the surrounding area. The monastery church was dedicated to Saint Bruno of Querfurt. In 1558, the monastery was dissolved during the Reformation, bringing its long history as a spiritual institution to an end.
