It was proposed to turn the monastery complex into a museum of its ruins by protecting and preserving its remains. The roofs of the church nave, the galilee, the battlements and the wall copings have been covered with copper sheeting. A staircase has been built on top of the remains of an old one; a walkway has been placed over the excavations of the Galilee at the entrance to the nave of the church; reception facilities have been installed and the former refectory has been adapted for a small museum.

A meeting centre and a small residence have also been built in the abbot's house to host activities that enhance the visit and use of the complex. Our first visit to the monastery coincided with a day when the clouds were flying low over the bell tower through the windows. Perhaps it was that enigmatic, ghostly vision that we wished to preserve.
