St. Andrew
During the 6th century the Benedictines built a church and founded a monastery on this island. In the 15th century all abandoned buildings were renewed by the Franciscans. In 1892 on the island was opened cement and lime factory. The family Huetterott bought the island so the monastery was turned in to a summer villa, and equipped with many works of art and the entire island became a beautiful park in which were planted numerous plant species from all around the world. On the island was opened a hotel in which you can find many different facilities that enrich the tourist offer on the island.
