Zagórz Monastery, Baroque monastery ruins in Zagórz, Poland
The fortified Carmelite monastery complex spans 1.59 hectares on Mariemont Hill, incorporating defensive walls, towers, and buildings around a central courtyard.
The monastery foundation began in 1700 when Voivode Jan Stadnicki commissioned its construction as gratitude for protecting Lesko from Swedish forces.
The monastery church featured rare illusionistic paintings instead of traditional altars, demonstrating an uncommon architectural and artistic approach in religious buildings.
The monastery site includes information panels, walking paths through gardens, and the Foresterium Cultural Center displaying reconstructions of historical elements.
The complex maintained a hospital outside its walls specifically for 12 noble war veterans, funded through a permanent foundation established by Stadnicki.
