The "Little Flower" monastery was built in 2015, situated in beautiful scenery of green meadows, mountains, and crystal-clear lakes. The little monastery is equipped with 18 bedrooms, a chapel, a dining room, a kitchen, and a conference room.
The monastery building is an all-wood construction. In total, 36,436 ft2 of cross‑laminated timber panels and 848 ft3 of glued-laminated timber were used. The engineers Berger and Gadner from Merano performed the structural analysis. The entire supporting structure was analyzed as a 3D model in RFEM.
