Brief description of the institution

It is situated in a lovely environment, at the foot of the Hill Gergély in the village of Hejce. The construction of the castle building had been completed in 1774. It is surrounded by a 3-ha park with trees and flowers. Walking along the winding paths we can enjoy natural beauties, listen to the songs of birds breaking the quiet and can praise God for the beauty He created, Within the building there is a chapel with unique beauty preserving the marks of the late Baroque style . Our residents find here a milieu helping them to find spiritual peace. Since 1952 the facility serves as welfare home. Currently it has a capacity of 40 people. We only accept women residence.
