Holy Cross Monastery, Benedictine monastery at Łysa Góra, Poland
The Holy Cross Monastery stands at 595 meters above sea level on Łysa Góra mountain, featuring Gothic cloisters and Renaissance architecture.
Founded in the 11th century by King Bolesław Krzywousty, the monastery received sacred relics from Hungarian Prince Saint Emeric, son of King Stephen I.
The monastery houses religious artifacts in its museum, displaying items from Oblate missions and preserving centuries of Benedictine religious traditions.
Visitors can reach the monastery via an asphalt road from Huta Szklana or Nowa Słupia, with electric trolleys available during tourist season.
The monastery crypt contains the preserved remains of Prince Jeremi Wiśniowiecki and other notable figures in designated, labeled coffins.
