It is located since 1664. The great poet Hanibal Lucic's daughter in law Julija willed this place to Benedictines in 1591. There are many things displayed. The nuns have been making laces of agave threads since 19th century which is mentioned in UNESCO's List Of The Intangible Cultural Heritage Of Humanity. The laces are very famous and available for sale but they are expensive.
