The "Kayhof" was first mentioned in writing in 1486. In its immediate vicinity there was a shrine with a depiction of the Virgin Mary.
During the Thirty Years' War the Kayhof and shrine were destroyed. The then owner Wolfgang Michael Silbermann, who was also the regional chancellor at the Fürstenhof in Neuburg, had the farm rebuilt and built a small wooden chapel.
In 1642 the Neuburg Crown Prince Philipp Wilhelm married the Polish princess Anna Catharina Constantia. Her dowry included an image of the Black Madonna of Czestochowa. Silbernann placed a copy of this icon above the altar of the chapel, where it still stands today.
In 1656 the Kayhof was elevated to the "Gnadenegg" estate, and in 1688 it was renamed "Gnadenfeld". Soon people heard about the miraculous power of the image of the Virgin Mary, of which numerous votive tablets still bear witness today. Many pilgrims came to visit "Mary in the Field of Grace" and to ask for help.
At the end of the 18th century, the Chapel of Grace was built as a stone structure in its current form and was expanded soon after.
The patronage of "Mary's Name" is celebrated on the second Sunday in September as part of the "Kahlhof Festival".
