The old building with the associated monastery buildings goes back to 1014, namely to a former St. Peter and Paul college pencil, which was converted into a Benedictine monastery by Bishop Adalbero in 1057. After the transfer of relics of St. Stephanus, it was only named after this, while the name St. Peter and Paul was transferred to the new parish church. The monastery buildings were used profane after 1803, totally destroyed and removed in 1945. New buildings took up the government of Lower Franconia.
