Nowy Dom Polski, Jerusalem, Female monastery and pilgrim house in Mea Shearim, Jerusalem.

The stone building contains 23 rooms of various sizes, including single, double, triple, and quadruple accommodations spread across multiple floors.

The Elisabeth Sisters initiated construction in 1934, receiving substantial financial support from Polish soldiers of the Carpathian Rifle Brigade during World War II.

The monastery maintains strong connections with Polish Catholic traditions while operating under the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem's supervision.

The facility provides full board services, contains a chapel, features a 50-person lecture hall, and requires cash payments for all accommodations.

Following the 1948 Arab-Israeli war, the Sisters evacuated the property for two years, returning to find substantial damage that required extensive repairs.
