The monastery St. Annen and the adjacent church were built between 1502 and 1515 in late Gothic style. Unfortunately, the monastery was closed after a few years. At the beginning of the 17th century, it became a house for the poor and later, it was used as prison as well. In the middle of the 18th century, parts of the monastery and the church St. Annen burnt down. The monastery was reconstructed; of the church, only ruins are left. Later, the monastery St. Annen was rebuilt to a museum and in 1915, a museum was opened. Now, the museum houses for example an extraordinary collection of altars and statues from the Middle Ages.
