The Cistercian monastery was founded in 1185 to honour the Archbishop of Canterbury.
The Cistercian monastery was founded in 1185 to honour the Archbishop of Canterbury. It is now used to house clergy and as an educational establishment. In 1742, after a fire destroyed the whole abbey with the exception of the church, the monastery was rebuilt in the baroque style in 1744. The monastery’s extensive garden area is also worth seeing.
