Monastery of the Descent of the Holy Spirit, Orthodox monastery ruins in Krásny Brod, Slovakia.

The stone ruins of the monastery feature a basilica design with remaining walls and architectural elements spread across the religious complex grounds.

The monastery, established in the 16th century by the Basilian order, operated until 1915 when it experienced substantial destruction during regional conflicts.

The monastery served as the Museum of Ukrainian Culture from 1958 to 1964, preserving regional artifacts before the collection moved to Svydnyk.
