The foundation of the monastery, dedicated to Saint Benedict, is attributed to Saint Corbinian. Initially established as a Benedictine monastery before the year 816, it transformed into a collegiate foundation from 816 onwards. Records of the monks in the traditions cease after the year 883, suggesting a change or the end of the monastic structure around that time.
