About this spot
The Benedictine Abbey of Tyniec is a historic monastery located on a hill above the bank of the Vistula River, about 12 km southwest of the Krakow historic center.
The abbey was founded during the 11th century and has been destroyed several times throughout history, including by the Mongols in the 12th century, the Swedes in the 17th century, and the Russians in the 18th century.
Today, the abbey is a popular destination for tourists and photographers alike, offering stunning views of the surrounding countryside and the Las Wolski woods. The monastery itself is a beautiful example of medieval architecture, with a fortified appearance that makes it look more like a fortress than a church. Visitors can explore the abbey's interior, which features a number of impressive frescoes and other works of art.
