Until the Second World War, this was one of the richest sacral buildings far and wide. It had a rich library and a collection of paintings by famous masters like Benedetto Carpaccio, Girolamo Santacroce, Vivarini and Palma Jr., which were displayed in the monastery church.

In the presbytery, there was a big renaissance triptych by Cimo de Conegliano. The most attractive feature of the church today is its precious late Gothic benches from the end of the 15th century and a Baroque organ. Till the 16th century, the church was dedicated to St. Mary of the Angels, when it was renamed the Church of St. Anne.
