Situated on a hill, the seminary and its church have withstood the trial of times owing to a protective fortress that guarded it. Now, only a small arch remains of the fortress and you will cross it right before entering the premises. The seminary has a dungeon that was once used as part of the fortress, but is no longer maintained; you can enter this potentially snake-infested cell at your risk! While pursuing priesthood, brothers also use their time to work in the surrounding plantations and to play sports. If you are lucky, you may get to interact with them. The seminary, though prohibits photography inside, welcomes visitors between 9 AM to 12:30 PM and 2:30 PM to 5 PM.
If you are seeking directions, ask for Raiturchi Seminar, which is how this site is popularly known as.
