    This abbey was built by monks a couple of hundred years ago. There are one hundred and three steps leading to the top of it, There is an old graveyard near by, monks are buried in it.
    There was no cement used in the building of it, it was built with "dóbe" {kind of sticky clay found here} There is a wall built around this abbey, there is also a track of an old well near by.
