Guest House

Dear Sir/Madam

We kindly invite your to include our Abbey in your schedule when visiting Cracow. The Guest House is part of the Benedictine Abbey in Tyniec, the oldest monastery in Poland. The architectural complex of the Abbey is beautifully located on the rocky bank of the Vistula River (12 kmfrom the historical center of Cracow). Today, rebuilt  from ruins with the financial support of the European Union, it is open to guests wishing to experience the living Benedictine tradition. The Guest House is an ideal place for those who need rest as well for those who need the necessary conditions to work. A regular bus service provides convenient transportation to the center of Cracow. It is  also very close to the A4  motorway  and the airport KRK in Balice.

Dear Guest,

It is a great pleasure to welcome you to our Abbey. We would like you to feel completely at home here and spend your time fruitfully. The Guest House is a part of the monastery – the home of the monks who pray and work here. We invite you to enter this sacred space and experience the pervasive Spirit. It was almost 1000 years ago when people set out on their personal quest for God in this place. If you wish to, you can join the monks in their work and in their prayers. You can also speak individually to the Fathers. We hope you will find here the blessing of a true peace.
