The old monastery architecture is not preserved, apart from the church of St Trinity and parts of some buildings. The church (which is only open for groups) presents a unique type of Gothic architecture in Central Europe. A multivision system presents the history of the monastery and the life of the monks to visitors.
The monastery incorporates a rich library and a collection of some 44 oil paintings from the 17th and 18th centuries, which are attributed to the Flemish, French, Italian and German Masters. A collection belonging to Dolenjska Museum is also installed in the vestibule of the church.
It is also possible to purchase a range of garden produce and other products here, including the famous Pleterje pear brandy.
Adjacent to the monastery is an open-air museum:
