    A wonderful place to wonder, pet animals, rest, get a taste of culture and have fun in the maze.

      The former monastery of St. Anna was founded in 1644 by Eleonora of Mantua and, after being destroyed by the Turks in 1683, flourished in the time of Maria Theresa.
      Since the Discalced Carmelites are a contemplative order,
      the monastery was abandoned on September 1, 1783 in the course of the dissolution of the monastery by Josef II. Parts of the monastery buildings were assigned to a forester, other parts together with the monastery church served as storage rooms for a long time and fell into disrepair.

        The former monastery of St. Anna was founded in 1644 by Eleonora of Mantua and, after being destroyed by the Turks in 1683, flourished in the time of Maria Theresa. Since the Discalced Carmelites are a contemplative order, the monastery was abandoned on September 1, 1783 in the course of Joseph II's abolition. Parts of the monastery buildings were assigned to a forester, other parts together with the monastery church served as storage rooms for a long time and fell into disrepair. Within the monastery wall, also known as the desert wall, there were originally seven hermitages scattered in the forest. There was also a fish cave, a fish pond, an orchard, a farm, three stone quarries and a lime kiln. In the center of this extensive area were the monastery buildings with the monastery church consecrated to St. Anne. The main entrance to the monastery area is in the northwest and was called the "gate". Next to the mighty archway of the gate stood the Leopold Chapel and the gatehouse.
