Monastery of our Lady of Machmouche
Glowing with spiritual significance, the Monastery was built in 1732 by Maronite Patriarch Semaan Awad el Hasrouni. Explore the beautiful architecture of the site that was once called “Monastery of Our Lady of the Shouf” which reflected its importance in the geographical area. It was previously destroyed by earthquakes twice and partially burned down during the 1860 war, yet the monastery continues to rise back to its splendor. The site has also served as a school since 1924 and features a museum of items directly linked to monastic life in the past.
