The origins of the provostry date back to the mid-12th century. In 1150, the foundation stone for the monastery was laid, which subsequently belonged to the Benedictine Order. For centuries, the community shaped the religious and cultural life of the region. As a Benedictine provostry, it was an important spiritual and economic center, whose influence extended far beyond its immediate vicinity.
