After the abolition of the monasteries in 1786 the altars and other church fittings were taken away or sold. Thereafter the monastery buildings fell into decay, and were finally burnt down in 1942. Renovation commenced in 1958 and by 1971 the church had been reconstructed by Institute for the Protection of Cultural Heritage of Slovenia (ZVKDS). Today it no longer operates as a monastery but is devoted purely to secular activities.
A selection of wooden sculptures by artists of several nationalities has been displayed in the grounds of the monastery since the Forma Viva exhibition of 1961. The Božidar Jakac Gallery was opened here in 1974.
