The first monastery in Neustadt am Main, then called Rorinlacha, was located at the "Old Place". It was founded either by Burkard, around 738, or Megingaud, around 741. The first monastery in the valley was excavated in 1981/82 by the Bavarian State Office for the Preservation of Monuments. The second Benedictine monastery in the valley of Neustadt am Main, at the New Place, was founded in 772 by order of Charlemagne, by the former second bishop of Würzburg, Megingaud. It was a royal monastery since 772. It was dissolved in 1803 during the secularization. The monastery with its extensive library came into the possession of Prince Constantine von Löwenstein-Wertheim-Rosenberg. Remains of the Neustädter monastery library, which the prince had kept in his Kleinheubacher castle, acquired the University Library Würzburg in 1985. 1857 burned down monastery building and church. In 1960, the ruin was blown up and in 1961, a new monastery was inaugurated by the Missionary Dominicans (Dominicans of St. Catherine of Siena of Oakford / Natal).
