Monastery, church and site

The stone monastery complex includes a church building, agricultural areas, and living quarters arranged around a central courtyard with mountain views.

Established as a Catholic sanctuary in medieval times, the monastery underwent multiple transformations before becoming a Trappist nunnery in the modern era.

The monastery maintains traditional religious practices, including daily prayer sessions, agricultural work, and the preservation of regional Catholic customs.

Visitors can access the monastery grounds during specified hours, with guided tours available through advance reservations at the administrative office.

The monastery produces agricultural goods following centuries-old Trappist methods, continuing a tradition of self-sustaining monastic agriculture in the Alps.
