Góra Świętej Anny, Religious site in Opole Voivodeship, Poland.
Góra Świętej Anny is a monastery complex with chapels situated on a hill near Leśnica. The site features a Franciscan convent, numerous chapels, a museum, and an amphitheater within a protected landscape area.
The hill was originally a pagan shrine before becoming a Christian pilgrimage destination after a statue containing relics of Saint Anne arrived in 1516. The Franciscans subsequently developed the complex into a religious center.
This pilgrimage destination draws visitors seeking spiritual connection through prayer and devotion at the monastery and surrounding chapels. The Franciscan presence has deeply shaped the site's character and layout over the centuries.
The location is easily accessible by bus from larger cities in the region, with accommodation options available nearby. Visitors should wear comfortable walking shoes to explore the chapel pathways across the grounds.
A Calvary path winds through 33 Baroque chapels arranged in sequence to represent the Passion of Christ. Walking through these chapels reveals changing views of the surrounding countryside at each turn.
