The history of Monchhof (the Monks House or Monks Court) goes back to 1177. Still in the Eymael family's possession is a document signed by Pope Alexander III, which shows the Cloister Himmerod (a Cistercian abbey) as having holdings at Urzig as early as 1177.
The estate's prime holdings are in the vineyards of the Urziger Wurzgarten, Erdener Treppchen, and Erdener Pralat.--Winemakers Note
