The property with its fish ponds is said to have got its name from its former owners, the monks of the Reinhardsbrunn monastery . The monk's court later served as a landgrave's court. The monks sold the Mönchshof to the Gotha Secret War Council Chancellor Adolph Christian Avemann (1646–1738), who passed it on to his son-in-law, the permanent zerbstischen Privy Councilor Dietrich Ernst Heinrich von Linsingen , whose heirs were still owners of the Mönchshof in Galetti's time . The current building is a small palace from 1729. Duke Ernst II (1772–1804) bought the palace for 40,000 gold marks in 1797 for his son August (1772–1822) as a wedding present and summer residence, which is why the property was redesigned into a landscape garden. In the 19th century, a number of illustrious people were guests in the castle. B. the landscape painter Louis Gurlitt . In 1918 the building became state property.

In the times of the GDR the building fell into disrepair and was not renovated until the beginning of 2000; only the outer walls remained.
In 2013 the property came into private ownership and was extensively restored, including the outdoor facilities. This also included the reconstruction of the castle garden wall and the uncovering and partial reconstruction of a vaulted cellar. Today the building is used as an apartment building and holiday home. The two castle ponds and the Mönchspark are openly accessible to visitors and are used as a local recreation area.
A modern residential complex is under construction immediately north of the building (Salzgitterstrasse 90). During the excavation for the cellar construction, old building foundation walls were found, the origin of which is currently (2015) uncertain.
