Czerna monastery, Carmelite monastery in Lesser Poland Voivodeship, Poland.
The monastery complex includes a church with an octagonal tower, baroque altars, and structures built from local black Dębnik marble throughout its architecture.
Agnieszka Tęczyńska established the monastery between 1631 and 1640, with additional construction continuing until the 1770s, creating a rectangular layout around the church.
The church houses notable artistic works, including the high altar painting of an angel feeding Elijah created by Tomasz Dolabella, court painter for King Władysław IV.
The monastery remains an active religious center surrounded by a four-kilometer stone wall, offering visitors access to both religious services and historical architecture.
Within the monastery grounds, twelve separate hermit houses with individual chapels were constructed to provide solitude for the monastic community.
