Information

The Post-Camaldolese monastery in Wigry (Polish: Pokamedulski Klasztor w Wigrach) is located on Lake Wigry, in the Suwałki region. The monastery complex consists of the Church of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, former monks' hermitages, the clock tower, beautiful gardens, a tavern, a small marina, a gallery and a restaurant. Visitors will be able to learn about the extraordinary history of the monastery and the legends related to it, climb the clock tower, which offers a fantastic view of the surrounding area, or go down to the crypts under the church. In the basement, they will be able to see an unusual original wall mural depicting the dance of death. It is also worth seeing the papal apartments where Pope John Paul II stayed during his pilgrimage to the Suwałki region in 1999, and visit hermitage, i.e. small houses where monks used to live, and where you can even spend the night.
