The origins of the monastery date back to 1701, when the foundation stone for the complex was laid. It served as a home for the Trappist Order, a contemplative branch of the Cistercian Order, characterized by strict asceticism and seclusion. Over the centuries, the monastery shaped the spiritual and cultural life in its surroundings until it was dissolved during the secularization.
