Grabarka Holy Mount, Orthodox monastery in Grabarka-Klasztor, Poland
The monastery complex includes three churches dedicated to the Transfiguration, the Icon of the Mother of God, and the Dormition of the Mother of God.
The religious site gained formal recognition in 1978, although its origins trace back to earlier times when monks protected sacred icons in surrounding forests.
The monastery grounds contain thousands of wooden crosses brought by Orthodox pilgrims, each representing personal prayers and expressions of gratitude.
Visitors can attend daily services, participate in religious ceremonies, and explore the monastery grounds between sunrise and sunset throughout the year.
In 1990, the main monastery church survived a fire that destroyed the building but left the ancient icons undamaged, leading to its reconstruction in 1998.
