Sulejów Abbey, Romanesque monastery in Sulejów, Poland
The abbey complex includes a church dedicated to Saint Thomas Becket, fortified walls, and architectural elements featuring rounded arches and thick stone pillars.
Duke Casimir II the Just established the Cistercian monastery in 1176, which later protected against Mongol invasions through its defensive fortifications.
The monastery represents Polish Cistercian heritage with its architectural design combining red stone and grey sandstone in horizontal layers throughout the structure.
The monastery functions as an active religious center where visitors can explore the preserved cloister, the main church, and remaining defensive structures.
The abbey received monks directly from Morimond Abbey in France, establishing a direct connection between Polish and French Cistercian traditions.
