Pauline monastery ruin, Gothic monastery ruin in Nagyvázsony, Hungary.
The stone walls of this medieval monastery extend up to one meter in height, with sections of the church walls reaching their original roof level.
The monastery, constructed around 1480, served as a center for Pauline monks until 1552 when they deliberately dismantled it to prevent Ottoman military use.
The monastery grounds contain architectural elements that demonstrate the religious architectural practices of medieval Hungarian monastic orders.
The monastery ruins stand 500 meters from Nagyvázsony Castle and remain accessible through marked pathways from the village center.
The monastery's construction was funded through an unusual source: the ransom payment received for an Ottoman prisoner.
