A monastery may have been founded in Frose by Ludwig the German, son of Louis the Pious, in the 9th century. In 936, Frose was mentioned again in a document by Otto I. and handed over to Margrave Gero. Around 960/61, this converted into a canon monastery and was incorporated as a provost into his newly founded Gernrode monastery. It thus lost its formal independence. The collegiate church was built around 1170 as a flat-roofed basilica, replacing a structure proven by excavations. It has a west building with two towers and semicircular apses on the transept arms and on the choir. In the 13th century changes were made to the west building and the choir. Thomas Müntzer was provost here between 1515 and 1516. He was an early Reformation theologian and the leading reformer who rejected Luther's compromises with feudal rule. He was one of the leaders of the German Peasants' and Plebeians' Revolt of 1525, commonly known as the German Peasants' War.

..."Siftkirche St. Cyriakus" in Gernrode on the eastern slopes of the Harz mountain range. Constructed around 1000. A model of the Ottonian style in Romanesque architecture...

The village of Berghausen is part of larger Schmallenberg since some decades. It existed already around 1200, when St. Cyriakus was erected, a very small basilica. The church was built on the floorplan of a "greek cross" and originally had three apses. The small right apse got lost, when the sacristy was added. During a renovation in 1936 frescoes were discovered under the plaster. Most remarkable is this large apse fresco. Christ Pantocrator in a mandorla.
