Introduction

The St. Mary's Monastery was originally built in 1055 and has undergone several renovations. However, only the west wall, north wall, west gate, asylum and the 14th century Abbot's House still remain. Today, the monastery is more like a beautiful garden where visitors can enjoy various flora and fauna, such as flowers, birds, and squirrels. Walking through the garden is a leisurely way to appreciate the historical relics and natural beauty.
