The monastery of Heisterbach was a Cistercian abbey founded in 1189. With the secularization of 1803, Heisterbach Abbey was abolished. Partially sold and demolished, it was not until 1818 that it was decided to preserve the remaining ruins, those of the choir. Count Wilhelm Ernst zur Lippe-Biesterfeld acquired the site in 1820 and had an English landscape garden laid out on the site. In 1840, the count had a mausoleum built on the model of a neo-Gothic chapel. Apart from this, only a barn and the brewery house have been preserved from the former monastery.
