The area of today's Mönchshof was the nucleus of Schwabach in the 8th century. A Franconian royal court likely stood here. In 1195, the property passed to the Ebrach Monastery in the Steigerwald and has been known as the Mönchshof ever since. The Mönchshof is the largest historic farm complex in Schwabach. The main building was rebuilt in 1539 and 1793, and during the first reconstruction, the Ebrach coat of arms was affixed to the exterior façade.
