Imagine standing amidst whispers from the past. Can you hear the faint echo of choir songs that once filled these walls? Look to your right at the university church. It was the spiritual heart of the monastery. A short stroll east brings you to the Cultural History Museum. Here's a secret: did you know there's a rare medieval manuscript tucked away in one of the rooms? It reveals the daily lives of the nuns who once lived here. A fascinating glimpse into a world long gone. And behind you, the stunning altarpieces that have stood here since medieval times. They’re not just artworks, but testaments to the deep spirituality that infuses this place.
