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.
