About
Monastery dated back to mid 13th century is still occupied by cistercian order. The church is the main tourist draw to the village, posessing some Gothic elements, although it is mainly Baroque in style. The monastery itself is closed for public - the only part available is the Abbots House, which hosts small museum with a bit chaotic exhibition on everyday life in monastery and in the village.
