Pauline Monastery in Pilisszentlélek

The remains of the Pauline Monastery include stone walls and foundations spread across a forested area within the Duna-Ipoly National Park.

King Ladislaus IV granted land for the monastery construction to hermit Peter of Felhévíz in the late 13th century near Pilisszentlélek.

The monastery represents the Order of Paul, which holds distinction as the only Hungarian-founded medieval monastic order in recorded history.

The monastery site features a parking area and maintains accessibility through marked hiking paths from the nearest bus station, one kilometer away.

Excavations between 1928 and 1933 uncovered the church structure with its restored altar, dedicated specifically to the Holy Spirit.
