As I could only walk around the exterior, I could only get exterior photos. The grounds are behind walls and there is the Roman Catholic Church, the Shrine Chapel of Saint Therese, towards the front. Here is some info regarding the history of this Monastery in the link below:

The Church and the grounds are made of locally mined stone and there is a nice exterior to the front of the Church with nice landscaping of trees and flowers. There is an ample parking area to the north of the Church to accommodate those attending masses.
