About

Above the village of Plavecké Podhradie, at the foot of Pohanská hill, stand the surviving perimeter walls of a long-lost medieval monastery.

At the southern foot of Pohanská hill, just above the village of Plavecké Podhradie, lies a quiet spot concealing the remains of a long-vanished monastery. Of the original complex, only the perimeter walls have survived to this day, yet they stand as a steadfast reminder of the rich spiritual heritage of this region.

The site has an unmistakably mysterious atmosphere — the ruins are embraced by surrounding nature, making them an appealing destination not only for history enthusiasts but also for hikers in search of a peaceful outing. A visit here offers a moment to reflect on the era when a monastic community once carried out its daily life within these very walls.
