The monastery was founded in 1439, establishing a long tradition of Franciscan spirituality in Sinzenich. It was dedicated to Saint Hubert, whose patronage shaped the orientation and significance of the monastery. For several centuries, it served as a spiritual and cultural hub until it was dissolved in 1802 during the secularization. This measure ended the monastic use of the complex after almost four hundred years.
