Built between 1931 and 1933 by architect Bernardus Koldewey, the site operated as a girls' boarding school and teacher training facility until 1981.

The monastery includes religious artworks, stone carvings, and a statue of Mary with child adorning the entrance gable of the main facade.

The building spans 26,000 square meters and contains multiple wings spread across different sections, connected through internal corridors and archways.
