History
The first monks arrived in 1132 from Burgundy, along with the architect Michael, responsible for the construction of the monastery complex.
The abbey's oldest architecture belongs to the period of the High Romanesque but some original forms resemble the Early Romanesque style from central France, as this territory used to be under the direct influence of Cluny II. Some parts of the abbey were expanded between the late 16th and mid 18th centuries.
Before disbanding the monastery held a library with 1827 units, including the valuable illuminated Stična manuscripts in Latin, dating from the 12th and 13th century, and important Stična manuscripts [Stiški rokopis] of 1428 with one of the first texts in the Slovene language.
In 1991 the Museum of Christianity in Slovenia was opened within the abbey to preserve and presents to wide audiences precious fine arts works, incunabula, archival documents, seals, liturgical clothes and objects from the monastery.
In 2002–2005 conservation and restoration work encompassed the cloister and its garden, and generated new insight on its early phase, including findings of many Romanesque spolia and lavatory foundation.
Mission
The monks (currently 14) continue their centuries old tradition in the Cistercian spirit of Ora et labora: taking care for spiritual growth in the parish; writing and publishing spiritual books, i.e. serial publication Bernardova knjižnica; dealing with theological science and organising symposia often of international importance; physical working in garden and orchard; managing Home for Spiritual Exercise [Dom duhovnih vaj]; maintaining tradition of singing the Gregorian chant. The monastery’s pharmacy, sharing the same fate as the library, was re-created in the 20th century by Simon Ašič, an expert of herbs and a healer.
