The present condition of the complex
The monastery complex is notably marked by the era of the communist regime; in the early 1950’s, it served as a detention centre for monks and priests. In the second half of the 1950’s, the monastery was slowly transformed to a charity home for priests with a more favourable activity schedule.The most noticeable rebuilding of the site took place during the communist regime – the original monastery community theatre building was pulled down and on its location a dwelling unit arose. The dwelling unit of the charity home is rather harshly adjoined to the monastery building, which together with modern alterations of the church façade, newly embedded window openings belying the character of the site, and a long-term absence of methodical attention to the monastery garden, represents major concerns of the estate.
At present, the construction and technical condition of the national cultural treasure suffers due to out-of-date technical devices, ramshackle roof covering, damaged parts of original roof truss and damp basement and socle. In the course of time, many authentic details, such as beam ceilings or stone features were covered up.
The overall condition of the complex undoubtedly necessitates full and concept-based renovation that may probably be the most extensive construction activity of the site since its establishment.
