The new magnificent building of the new prelature in the style of late Barocco was built during 1760 - 1770 by provost Augustin Dubensky in the style of late Barocco. For itself purpose, however, the monastery served only briefly, because in 1785 was abolished by Emperor´s Joseph II. of Austria reforms.
