Pálos kolostor

The monastery remains display a basic structure with a nave, sanctuary, and tower, situated 320 meters above sea level in the Zemplén Mountains.

The Pauline monastery construction began in the late 14th century, with seven altars consecrated in 1420 before its gradual decline during the Reformation period.

The monastery belongs to the Pauline Order network, which contributed to Hungarian language development through educational activities and text preservation in medieval times.

The ruins stand 3 kilometers east of Gönc and can be reached via a marked red cross hiking trail, requiring a 5-kilometer walk from the town.

The original carved pointed-arch window from the main entrance now resides in the Hussite House in Gönc, preserving its medieval craftsmanship.
