In December 1962 monks from Münsterschwarzach settled in Kemphausen at the farm of the Kophanke family, the last member of whom (Fräulein Maria Kophanke) wished the property to be used for monastic purposes.

The priory belongs to the Ottilien Congregation of the Benedictine Confederation.

In the nearby woods is a small dry-stone labyrinth, built in 2004.
