ADISHAM BUNGALOW

This beautiful manor house, very well preserved, was built in 1931 by an Englishman, Sir Thomas Villiers. He later became Sir Adisham, in memory of his home village in Kent, whose "bungalow" incorporates Tudor and Jacobean styles. On his retirement in 1950, he sold the manor to the Dutch. In 1961, it was bought by an Italian Benedictine monk, who later donated it to the Benedictine monastery of Ampitiya in 1963. Since then, it has been home to the monastery of Saint Benedict. You can buy jams made by the monks at the store.
