History
In the 17th century the Grand Chancellor of Lithuania Christopher Sigismund Pac erected a sanctuary for the Camaldolese Monks on a hill in the forest. Pa탑aislis Camaldolese Monastery is not only a functioning monastery housing and maintained by the Congregation of the Sisters of Saint Casimir, but also a unique, state protected, baroque monument, considered to be one of the most beautiful examples of the mature baroque in the northern and eastern Europe.
A special house was build for the guests arriving at Pa탑aislis Monastery - a foresteria in which hospitality complex MONTE PACIS is located.
