Hronský Beňadik monastery, Gothic Benedictine monastery in Hronský Beňadik, Slovakia.
The monastery complex sits on elevated rocks above the Hron River valley, featuring fortified walls, cannon bastions, and a Gothic basilica of St. Egidius.
Established in 1075 by King Gejza II, the monastery underwent fortification modifications in 1537 to protect against Turkish invasions in the region.
The monastery holds particular importance as the creation site of the Nitra Gospels, the oldest Latin manuscript from Slovakia, written around 1100.
Visitors can access the monastery from June through September, Monday to Friday between 10:00-12:00 and 13:00-16:00, with Saturday hours from 13:00-16:00.
The church interior contains medieval wood carvings of the Holy Sepulchre and wall paintings depicting Saint George from different historical periods.
