Once the largest Trappists abbey in the world, this monastery significantly contributed to regional development, establishing:

- The first private hydroelectric power plant in Banja Luka, bringing electric light to the city by 1899.

- A brewery in 1873, later evolving into today’s Banjalučka pivara (“Nektar” brand).

- An artisan-based cheese production—the world-famous secret-recipe Trappist cheese originated here.

- Vocational schools, mills, printing press, orphanage, hospital, and more, offering education and employment across ethnic and religious lines.
