The building's origins lie in its role as a tithe barn, where payments in kind were collected. Later, it was repurposed as a Franciscan convent, marking a profound change in its use and significance. Following the dissolution of the convent, likely during secularization, the estate found a new purpose as a winery, thus connecting to Franconia's rich winemaking tradition.
