In 1700, the barefoot Carmelite monks settled in Antalieptė. Contemporaries tell us that the monks were very hard-working, wearing no underwear and only kicked into their hips during the biggest cold. Between 1732 and 1760, monks, funded by Livonian chestnut J. M. Strutinskis, built a late Baroque-style church and a monastery. In 1804–1832, after the demolition of the old wooden building of the monastery, the current building of classicist forms emerged. This was connected by an underground tunnel to the church. The church and the monastery have been under 4 oppressions. However, thanks to people loyal to sacred values, the church and monastery began to be maintained in the second half of twentieth century. Finally, the church was restored in 2012 and the monastery is currently experiencing a revival, thanks to the Inovators Valley team.
