MONASTERY BUILDINGS GIVE WAY TO THE RAILROAD
The monastery's overall appearance changed in the 19th century. Large parts of the monastery grounds were sold and buildings were torn down, including the Chapel of St. Mary, whose second story housed a library, a further imitation of the reform monastery in Hirsau. The construction of a railway between 1882 and 1886, as well as a road south of the conclave, resulted in the removal of several economic and management buildings, including the south gate and the Romanesque cold storage space, the so-called work building, with its striking ashlar masonry.
