Zsámbék Premontre monastery church, Medieval monastery ruins in Zsámbék, Hungary.
The three-nave basilica features two towers, with the northwestern tower noticeably shorter due to its metal protective roof replacement.
Between 1220 and 1234, descendants of French knight Aynard constructed this Romanesque basilica dedicated to Saint John the Baptist.
The monastery initially housed Premonstratensian monks until 1475, when King Matthias transferred it to the Pauline order with papal permission.
The stone collection from the original structure is displayed in a vaulted room of the former monastery, accessible to visitors.
The devastating earthquake of 1763 caused the collapse of the northern aisle's vault and wall, transforming this religious complex into ruins.
