The church and the monastery unite Romanesque and Gothic architectural styles.
The inner courtyard was used by the monks as a monastery garden, where they could cultivate herbs, which were important for the production of medicines. The remedies were used for the monastery's own needs, but were also offered for sale in the pharmacy located in the monastery. The pharmacy was founded in 1317 and is still in operation, although the products are no longer made from the plants of the monastery garden.
