The convent of the clarissinas was founded 1289 by Leuthold I. of Kuenring. The convent church was finished 1330. The existing church gives an impression of the former importance of the convent, but it was dissolved by 1571 and became part of the monastery of the Augustines. In 1715 the former church became a storehouse for grain. |

| The first inn in the former buildings of the convent existed already in the 19th century. The Thiery family is in charge of the building since 1884, always taking care to preserve the valueable old buildings, to equip the wide rooms with beautiful things and to care for the kitchen as well as for the wine-cellar. So it became a house which combines modern hospitality and historic ambiance. A romantic annotation of Emil Strecker, a famous artist who was a frequent guest like many other artists of this time, lead to the name "Gasthof zum Richard L�wenherz". Since that time the house is obliged to this royal name - as ROMANTIK HOTEL RICHARD L�WENHERZ, where every guest is a king. |
