Tour description
The Capuchin monastery, beautifully situated, is a place of silence and contemplation. Since the beginning of the 1990s, the monastery has offered days of silence, retreats and the ten-day contemplative retreat.
In 1711 Count Sigismund von Welserheim gave his hunting lodge to the Capuchins. In 1711 the first brothers arrived and began the necessary preparatory work for the construction of the monastery. Only three months later the building was handed over to its new purpose and the foundation stone for the construction of the monastery church was laid.
The monastery church is open daily.
