Guided Story

Take a moment to soak in the calmness around you. Can you feel it? This place was once a Cistercian nunnery, home to noblewomen who sought solitude and spiritual devotion. Imagine the echo of their prayers filling these walls centuries ago. Just to your north is the Carmelite Church of St. Theodor, still very much the heart of the monastery. This church stands as a testament to the enduring spiritual journey that continues here. Did you know that after a brief hiatus in the 19th century, the Carmelites returned here in 1902? It's fascinating how history and the present are so seamlessly intertwined, isn't it?
