According to legend, the wind blew the veil of Beatrix, wife of Count Otto von Botenlauben, from Botenlauben Castle to this point. Then the monastery was built here.

The monastery was founded in 1231 by the minstrel and crusader Count Otto II and his wife Beatrix von Courtenay.

Shortly before his death, Otto von Botenlauben also bequeathed the small Burkardrode Castle, located a few meters to the southwest, to the monastery.

After the death of the founding couple, who are buried in the monastery church, their son became provost of the monastery.

In 1574 the monastery dissolved after the death of the last abbess Amalia von Rumrod and the property fell to the prince-bishop's chamber in Würzburg.

The complex was looted during the Thirty Years' War and then demolished except for the central nave. In 1691 the remaining property was sold to eight farmers from Burkardroth, creating the village of Frauenroth.

After secularization in 1803, the monastery church was used as a simple village church.
