Święty Krzyż Abbey, Benedictine monastery in Nowa Słupia, Poland
The stone complex contains a late Baroque church, monastery buildings, cloisters from the 15th century, and a reconstructed tower from 2014.
The monastery, established in 1006, served as the most important religious sanctuary in the Kingdom of Poland during the Jagiellon dynasty period.
The Oleśnicki Chapel, built between 1614 and 1620, houses the relics of the Holy Cross, which give the monastery and mountain their names.
The monastery includes a missionary museum displaying photographs from its prison period, a model of the former prison, and exhibits about Benedictine activities.
The entrance features a 17th-century gate in the surrounding wall and a bell tower from 1777 equipped with five bells that ring multiple times daily.
