Манастир на сестрите бенедиктинки, Benedictine monastery in Tsarev Brod, Bulgaria
The monastery complex features traditional Bulgarian architectural elements combined with Benedictine design principles, surrounded by medicinal herb gardens.
Four Benedictine sisters from Germany established this Catholic monastery in 1914, creating the first religious institution of its kind in northeastern Bulgaria.
The monastery serves as a multicultural center with nuns from three continents working together to maintain religious traditions and educational programs.
Visitors can obtain the monastery's special healing ointment, made from calendula and other medicinal plants grown in the monastery gardens.
The sisters maintain a century-old tradition of preparing therapeutic balms using herbs collected during specific sunlight conditions in late May and June.
