For seven and a half centuries the Benedictine nuns occupied these places. They have grown plants in their garden to feed themselves and medicinal herbs, called simple or herbs to cure. They used the latter not only to treat the sick of the abbey and its surroundings, but also the pilgrims of their hospital. In fact, the abbess Chunegundis had founded in 1143 at the entrance of Eschau on the Roman road still existing a hospital for pilgrims.
Visiting pilgrims, but also those who had come to venerate the abbey church dedicated to Saint Trophime, the relics of Saint Sophia and her three daughters, Faith, Hope and Charity, stopped in this hospital, brought back from Rome as early as 777 by Bishop Remigius himself. Saint Sophia was the patron saint of the abbey, which became an important centre of pilgrimage.
It was generally the abbess who had knowledge of the plants and had ointments, balms, infusions or decoctions prepared or prescribed baths, wraps or powdered plants to treat the sick
