Magnificent and gigantic monastery, founded in 1841 at the initiative of the village priest. Throughout history, the monastery was expanded and rebuilt several times. It sustained significant damage during both world wars. On each occasion, the opportunity was seized to better adapt the buildings to changing needs.
Within the complex, we see eclectic interiors in various styles: Neo-Gothic, Neo-Empire, Neoclassicism, Art Nouveau, and Art Deco. Wall paintings, stained-glass windows, etched glass, paneling, and stucco are abundantly present throughout the monastery. The various buildings are connected by monumental corridors and galleries.
Attached to the monastery are a large Art Nouveau winter garden and a Neo-Gothic church. Unfortunately, these were not accessible at the time of my visit. They certainly deserve a second visit. The same applies to the surrounding park.
