Monastery

The Benedictine Monastery of St. Andrew on Rab

The Benedictine Monastery with the Church of St. Andrew, founded in the 11th century, proudly rises from the cliffs of St. Euphemia Bay on the island of Rab. Established for the daughters of noble Rab families, its founding is historically associated with the year 1123, although without solid evidence.

 

The earliest record of the monastery comes from an inscription on the bell tower dated 1181, which mentions Abbess Ivana. This simple Romanesque bell tower, the oldest of the four on Rab, stands as a testament to the rich and ancient history of this sacred site.

The Rab cake I ordered from the Benedictine nuns of Rab Island is a true masterpiece! A perfect combination of almonds, citrus, and a secret recipe clearly passed down through generations. The texture is so delicate, and the flavor is incredibly rich and sophisticated. Every bite reflects the effort and love poured into its creation. This is not just a cake, but a piece of tradition and history. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to experience something authentic and special!

The comfrey ointment I purchased is a true treasure of nature! Its texture is smooth and easy to apply, with a mild and pleasant scent. I use it for sore muscles and joints, and I notice significant relief after just a few applications. My skin feels soft and nourished after use. It’s clear that this ointment is made with great care and love for nature. This is not just an ointment, but a natural ally for skin and muscle health. A big thank you to the producers for this wonderful product!

The wormwood liqueur I purchased is a true discovery! Its rich, aromatic notes and slight bitterness blend perfectly, creating a unique taste experience. Every sip reminds me of old, traditional recipes and natural herbal remedies. It’s perfect as an aperitif, but I also enjoy it after meals for better digestion. You can feel it’s made with great care and expertise. This is not just a liqueur, but a little work of art in a bottle. A big thank you to the producers for this exceptional product!
