Adisham Hall, Tudor and Jacobean monastery in Haputale, Sri Lanka
Adisham Hall stands at 5,000 feet altitude, featuring stone walls, Burma teak shingles, and gardens surrounded by mountain peaks of Hakgala and Piduruthalagala.
Sir Thomas Villiers, grandson of Lord John Russell, constructed this country house between 1927 and 1931 while serving as chairman of George Steuart Company.
The monastery follows Saint Benedict's principles, with Sylvestrobenedictine monks maintaining traditions through daily prayers and agricultural work since 1961.
The monastery opens to visitors from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. during weekends and public holidays, offering local products including jams made by resident monks.
The chapel houses a bone fragment relic of St. Sylvester, while the surrounding 2.8-hectare estate connects to the Tangamale Strict Nature Reserve.
