Nowy Dom Polski, Jerusalem

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

Nowy Dom Polski is a monastery and pilgrim house of the Polish Elizabethan sisters, located north of the Damascus Gate outside the Old City walls. The building, begun in 1934, was completed and consecrated on 21 December 1941. It offers several dozen beds in single, double and multi-bed rooms with private bathrooms, along with a chapel, recreation room, shaded roof terrace and dining room.

The Elisabeth Sisters bought the plot north of the Damascus Gate in 1934, and construction, slowed by scarce funds, was completed with help from Polish soldiers of the Carpathian Rifle Brigade and Bishop Józef Gawlina. The house was consecrated on 21 December 1941. On 1 June 1948 the sisters left under military escort and returned two years later to find it devastated.

The house is run by Polish Elizabethan sisters from the Poznań province, who came to Jerusalem in 1931 at the appeal of Cardinal August Hlond to care for pilgrims. Mass is held in the chapel, and breakfasts and dinner-suppers are served in the dining room. The roof terrace is shaded.

The pilgrim house has several dozen beds in single, double and multi-bed rooms, each with a bathroom. It welcomes both pilgrim groups and individual pilgrims. Guests can use the chapel, a recreation room, a shaded roof terrace and a dining room serving breakfast and lunch-dinner.

After the 1948 war, the Sisters were forced to evacuate for two years and returned to find the property heavily damaged. This experience remains part of the house's story and how it has endured in the neighborhood.
