The hermitage was consecrated in 1890.

A large part, however, dates back to 1945.
Monks of the Carmelite Order lived here for over 30 years.

Today, the monastery is abandoned and closed.

A suitable place to rest and recount the place's grim history:
In 1926, a monk fell from a ladder and died. Shortly thereafter, another monk was found dead in a well, suffering a severe blow to the head. The circumstances of his death remained unclear. There was speculation about an accident, robbery, or suicide.

In 1949, a mentally disabled man who was caring for the hermitage is said to have beaten his sister to death and then hanged himself from a holm oak tree. The oak tree with the sawn-off branch is said to still stand today.

Even if the actual monastery is locked, you still have access to the monastery complex, so that a visit is definitely worthwhile ... especially for the wonderful panoramic view.
