Szczyrzyc Abbey, Cistercian abbey in Szczyrzyc, Poland.
The medieval monastery includes a church dedicated to the Assumption of Mary and Saint Stanislaus with a Gothic portal from the 15th century.
Founded in 1234 by Teodor Gryfita, the monastery complex expanded in the 17th century to include a library, brewery, tavern, and mill alongside fish ponds.
The abbey houses a museum displaying military artifacts and religious objects within its historic granary, preserving centuries of local heritage.
The monastery maintains agricultural activities, including the breeding of Polish Red cattle and operates Gryf, the sole functioning monastic brewery in Poland.
A Gothic Cross from 1440, known as the Cross of the Good Way, remains a central point where people gather before starting their journeys.
