So to the 4th and final monastery for the day. In fact not a monastery at all anymore as it was converted to a nunnery in 1961. It’s the most accessible, but not what you’d call step free. It closes for a few hours after lunch unlike the others as well as one day a week. All that makes it the busiest with tour groups.

This is the cave below the monastery. Everyone who wants to enter has to pass the wolves. That's an easy way to get rid off undesired visitors.

The Dragomirna Monastery was built during the first three decades of the 17th century, 15 km from Suceava,Bucovina, north of Moldavia region, Romania. It is the tallest medieval monastery in Bucovina and renowned in Orthodox architecture for its unique proportions and intricate details, mostly carved into stone. It lies among forested hills of fir and oak. The history of the monastery started in 1602, when the small church in the graveyard was built and dedicated to Saints Enoch, Elijah and John the Theologian. In 1609 the dedication of the larger church was made to the "Descent of the Holy Spirit".

Schoenthal Monastery, first mentioned in 1145, includes one of the oldest churches in Switzerland. It is considered a showpiece of Romanesque architecture. Its western façade features ashlar masonry, a portal with a depiction of a lamb carrying a cross, and an arch supported by a lion baring its teeth on one side, and by a man on the other. The inscription on the arch reads: HIC EST RODO.
Of the murals on the inside of the church, a depiction of St. Christopher has been preserved above the gateway to the cloister dating from about 1310/20. Behind the eastern façade, fragments can be seen of an angel swinging a censer; these date from around 1430. The bell in the steeple was cast in Aarau in the 15th century. The deconsecrated monastery was used for various commercial purposes over a period of 500 years. As of 1986, the new owner had extensive renovations carried out in collaboration with the canton’s departments of archaeology and the preservation of historical monuments. The latter recommended using the traditional plaster made of slaked lime.

Originally founded by the Drukpa Kagyu lama Kyapgon Gangriwa, inside there is a small shrine and cave where Padmasambhava meditated with his consort Yeshe Tsogyel before leaving this world. Various revered objects are to be found inside the cave, such as the granite rocks with clear imprints of Padmasambhava`s hands and feet. Above the cave there is a small temple containing (L-R): the reliquary stupa of Tsewang Lama who was responsible for rebuilding the complex during the 1980s, images of Vajrasattva, Padmasambhava, surmounted by a small Avalokiteshvara, and an old Padmasambhava, flanked by Mandarava and Yeshe Tsogyel. The spiritual practices followed here combine the termas of the Dudjom Tersar tradition and those of Jatson Nyingpo with Drukpa Kagyu liturgies. Above the temple there is a small protector chapel. At Jiu Gon there is the source of the Sutlej River, known as the Ganga-chu or Langchen Khabab. When the fortunes of Tibet are low, it is almost dry, as is the present situation. The only water that remains is the brackish cusp of hot springs behind Jiu Gonpa, where a glass-roofed bathhouse has been constructed. The Tibetans have also created several open-air stone bath where you can wash yourself and your clothes in the clean hot water. www.footprinttravelguides.com/c/2848/tibet/&Action=pr...

English: This former psychiatric ward was built in 1938. The building was part of a large complex of building which used to house some hundred patients with mental problems. In 2006 the Sisters left the place and it was long left forgotten.
Dutch: Psy Monastery is een verlaten psychiatrische afdeling wat ergens gebouwd is rond 1939. De geschiedenis gaat terug tot 1845, toen de eerste psychiatrische patiënten hier werden ondergebracht door de zusters Maricolen. Het krankzinnigengesticht telde in 1893 ‘slechts’ 114 patiënten, maar tegen in 1945/1946 was dat aantal maar liefst opgelopen tot 676 patiënten. Door de toenemende aangroei van patiënten was men genoodzaakt om een paviljoen bij te bouwen. De eerste steen werd gelegd in 1936 en de eerste patiënten en de zusters Maricolen die instonden voor hun verzorging, namen hun intrek in dit gebouw in 1938. Het paviljoen kreeg bij de wijding de naam van de Heilige D. In dit gebouw had men centrale verwarming geplaatst en beschikte men over warm en koud water.
