On the Island of Hares the small historical chapel which stands at the place of the Premontre provostry founded before 1225 by the king, keeps the memory of the rich, medieval monastic relics.
The area destroyed after the Turk ages was excavated by Kálmán Lux and he made built up the Premontre chapel which vestry stands at the place of the chapel of the XV century. The Premontre provostry might be founded by András II. on the Island of Hares before 1225. One-nave, arch-typed closing church belonged to the small-sized provostry. On its place, previously existed a church consecrated to St. Michael. At first, they got significant donations, but later they diminished importantly because of the expansion of the Dominican nun monastery. Finally the sisterhood got the whole area of the island, the premontre array had only the monastery itself.
In the XVth century, there was a chapel next to the monastery too. The Premontre provostry was left in 1526 because of the Turks, after this the building was demolished. The remains was excavated by Kálmán Lux and the chapel which still exists was built in medieval style according to his plans.
