Pauline Monastery on Jakab Hill, Medieval monastery ruins on Jakab Hill at Kővágószőlős, Hungary
The monastery remains stand at 602 meters elevation, featuring stone walls and architectural elements characteristic of medieval religious construction methods in Hungary.
The monastery was established in 1225 by the Bishop of Pécs for local hermits, forming part of the Order of Saint Paul the First Hermit.
The monastery grounds contain remnants of Iron Age fortifications, demonstrating the location's continuous importance from Celtic times through medieval Christian periods.
Visitors can reach the monastery ruins through marked hiking trails starting from Kővágószőlős, with the site open for exploration throughout the year.
The monastery sits above former uranium mines that operated from the 1950s to 1990s, making it one of few religious sites connected to nuclear resource extraction.
