The abbey's oldest architecture belongs to the period of the High Romanesque but some original forms resemble the Early Romanesque style from central France, as this territory used to be under the direct influence of Cluny II. Some parts of the abbey were expanded between the late 16th and mid 18th centuries.
In 1991 the Museum of Christianity in Slovenia was opened within the abbey to preserve and presents to wide audiences precious fine arts works, incunabula, archival documents, seals, liturgical clothes and objects from the monastery.
