Pokamedulski Klasztor w Wigrach

Mazovia & Podlasie


Rooms and apartments in the old monastery are easily the most atmospheric lodgings in the park. In the shadow of the steeples, it feels like a tiny village on a hill. Many of the facilities were rebuilt in 2019. Rooms are spartan, as befits a facility aimed at religious pilgrims. There is an on-site cafe.
