Located next to the Franciscan monastery is the Monastery of the Poor Clares. In it, sisters who live in seclusion – away from the world, dedicate their days and nights to prayer. In addition to praying, they study spirituality, practice church singing, bake sacramental bread, maintain the garden and do various household and other manual works (sewing, creating bobbin lace, embroidery).
Due to the strict order, entry to the monastery is not allowed. Despite that, the Clarisses gladly host visitors in the outer chapel, sing songs and tell stories about their exceptional way of life.
By prior arrangement, visits are also possible outside opening hours.
