Červený Kláštor, Medieval monastery in Kežmarok District, Slovakia
The Red Monastery stands at the base of the Pieniny Mountains, featuring Gothic architecture with a central church and multiple connected buildings constructed of red brick.
Founded in 1319 by magister Kokoss for Carthusian monks, the monastery underwent modifications during the 18th century when Camaldolese monks established their presence.
The monastery museum displays artifacts from monastic life, including the herbarium of Brother Cyprian, who studied local plants and created medical treatments.
Located near the Dunajec River, the monastery opens from 8:00 to 19:00 in summer months and maintains shorter hours during winter, with guided tours available.
The monastery complex includes a protected park called Pieninské lipy, containing 19 ancient linden trees that have stood guard at its entrance for centuries.
