After Lorsch had been incorporated in the Electorate of Mainz (1232), it lost a large part of its privileges. The Benedictines were replaced first by Cistercians and later by Premonstratensians."

Pilgrimage Church of Wies "The hamlet of Wies, in 1738, is said to have been the setting of a miracle in which tears were seen on a simple wooden figure of Christ mounted on a column that was no longer venerated by the Premonstratensian monks of the Abbey. A wooden chapel constructed in the fields housed the miraculous statue for some time. However, pilgrims from Germany, Austria, Bohemia, and even Italy became so numerous that the Abbot of the Premonstratensians of Steingaden decided to construct a splendid sanctuary." (OUV)

Val d'Orcia Premonstratensians inhabited Sant'Antimo Abbey from 1992 until 2015, when they decided to leave the abbey to move to that of Saint-Michel de Frigolet, near Avignon, due to the decline in vocations in France and the impossibility of growing the community in the spaces of Sant'Antimo.
