The south-eastern part of the monastery complex served as a dormitory in the Middle Ages and is one of the oldest surviving buildings in the monastery. It was built around 1300. Parts of the facades and the building substance inside are still medieval.

When the monastery was renovated between 1722 and 1730, four terraced houses for nuns were created in the building. This spatial structure characterizes the monastery buildings to this day, as does the high mansard roof erected at this time. The appearance of the facades is characterized by a conversion from the middle of the 19th century. The colouring of the walls and windows comes from this time.

The building is currently undergoing extensive refurbishment in accordance with the requirements of a listed building. The permanent exhibition on the history of the monastery and convent is being prepared for display there. The main focus is on the modern history of the evangelical, aristocratic convent. Its residents and their life in the monastery in the context of everyday culture, religion and building history, as well as conditions dictated by the economy and the prevailing law. The remaining maids’ chambers are also included in the exhibition tour, as is the reconstruction of a black kitchen, which enables and indeed, invites visitors to cook together. With the redesign of the canonesses’ former house gardens, a “gallery of garden uses” is to be created through a careful reproduction of typical garden situations from the 19th century.  Features will include a kitchen garden, flower garden and pavilion, all of which will form part of the museum exhibition.
