Singlis lies at the point where the Gilsbach stream, coming from Pfaffenhausen, empties into the Schwalm.
In the centuries that followed, the House of Züschen, a local noble family, thrived and amassed considerable wealth.
As a result of the Reformation and the monastery's consequent dissolution, its farm in Singlis, along with its income, was assigned to the University of Marburg.
The church that stands today was built between 1700 and 1710 as a simple hall and has since been comprehensively renovated several times, the latest work being carried out in 1971.
The former strip mine with the name "Singlis" lay just west of the village and is nowadays a pond 70 hectares in area.
