The farmhouses

From 1807 to 1973, the monastery remained abandoned, and appeals for its restoration were in vain. Consequently, anyone could steal portals and stones; roofs and walls collapsed, and brambles became the uncontested rulers. Only the farmhouses, meanwhile inhabited by farmers, continued their life spanning centuries; on the ground floors were stables, and on the mezzanine floors, the dwellings. Today, the farmhouses are used as a reception area.
