The winery is located in the municipality of Ürzig (Bernkastel area) in the German Moselle wine-growing region. The former Cistercian abbey of Himmerod is one of the oldest wine estates in Germany. Pope Alexander III (1105-1181) confirmed the first vineyard ownership as early as 1177. The monks built the vaulted cellars at this time and the current estate building in 1509. During secularisation under the French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821), the estate was bought at auction by the Eymael family in Paris in 1804. As early as 1717, the Upper Archbishopric categorised the vineyards in the first class. The Mönchhof wines won top honours at the 1893 World Exhibition in Chicago, USA.
