About this building

According to historical records, a wooden monastery and church existed on the site before the construction of the current monastery in 1727. The monastery served educational and economic purposes while the church was used as the local parish. 

A major renovation was carried out after the First World War, which included the restoration of the Baroque inventory, primarily the altar in the church.
