Traveler reviews
Tony Evans
★★★★★a month agoVery interesting place with a great history. A type of women's refuge, where they could live and work and spend time together.

★★★★★9 months agocame here twice, once on my own, then once as a tour group. -If you are in town for more then just a day trip, then i recommend coming in the morning, before 9am, its completely empty. After 9am the tours start and there is massive crowds as this is one of the closes "attractions" to the train station, so its a first stop for most walking tours. I even saw one of the 3 nuns still remaining in the morning. -Its interesting how the trees are all on a angle from the wind.
