About Carmelite Monastery
Established in 1938, the Carmelite Monastery is located atop a hill on Bukit Teresa Road. During the Second World War, the monastery was partially converted into anti-aircraft base and was eventually occupied by the Japanese. Today, traces of this tumultuous history can still be found within the monastery. However, the monastery today has reverted to its original function, serving as a spiritual sanctuary for devotees and a residence for the sisters.
