Kostanjevica Monastery, Franciscan monastery on a hill in Nova Gorica, Slovenia
The monastery complex stands on a 143-meter hill between Nova Gorica and Pristava, featuring stone buildings and a church with a crypt beneath the altar.
Established in 1623 as a Carmelite sanctuary near Gorizia, the monastery transferred to Franciscan control in 1811 following dissolution by Emperor Joseph II in 1781.
The Škrabec library within the monastery holds 10,000 books and 30 incunabula, including a grammar book from 1584 by Adam Bohorič.
Visitors can access the monastery Monday through Saturday from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM and 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM, with Sunday hours limited to afternoons.
The monastery crypt contains the remains of French royal family members, including King Charles X of France who died in exile in 1836.
