Bieniszew, Camaldolese monastery in Wielkopolskie Province, Poland.

The Bieniszew monastery complex stands on Sowia Góra hill, surrounded by five lakes and dense forest lands north of Konin city.

The monastery dates to 1663 when Wojciech Kadzidłowski established it for Camaldolese monks, with the current brick structure completed between 1760 and 1781.

The monks follow strict monastic rules, starting their day at 3:45 AM with communal prayers, solitary work, spiritual reading, and meals until evening.

The monastery courtyard and church admit only male visitors on weekdays, while Sunday mass at 10:30 AM welcomes all members of the public.

The monastery opens its doors to all visitors just three times annually: during Pentecost, on July 2nd, and September 8th.
