The Lange Bau or Äbtissinnenbau (October 2007)Abbey portal on the abbey buildingAbbey museum in the old abbey stable building
The abbey was founded by Saint Luitgard of Wittichen in 1324. According to Luitgard, who came from the Schenkenzell village of Kaltbrunn-Vortal, God said to her on the site of the monastery: "Here you are to build me a house!" So she searched for other co-sisters and founded her abbey in the outback of Wittichen with 33 sisters.
The monastery is near the entrance to the small village of Wittichen. The small monastery church has been preserved. It is in the baroque style, and houses Luitgard's grave. A number of the Counts of Urslingen are buried in the nearby cemetery. There are also circular hiking trails, some with information on mining in the Wittichen area.
