In this period (16th century) the monastery was rebuilt into a fortress. Believers and tourists come to Hronsk\u00fd Be\u0148adik also to see the relic of the Holy Blood of Jesus. It is a piece of Veronica\u2019s veil with drops of Christ\u2019s blood. Pope Paul II donated the relic to King Matthias Corvinus as gratitude for king\u2019s help in fighting against the Ottomans. Since 2015, the monastery has been administered by the Diocese in Nitra. In the granary building, there are exhibitions of the history of the monastery. An exhibition of the abbot's wing was recently added. The monastery is open daily during guided tours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Guided tours in English are available with prior reservation, at least 3 days in advance.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/regiongron.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/phoca_thumb_l_cierna_brana.jpg\" alt=\"phoca_thumb_l_cierna_brana\" class=\"wp-image-671\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"626\" src=\"http:\/\/regiongron.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/rsz_2020-10-27_hronsky_benadik_gron_12-1024x626.jpg\" alt=\"Kl\u00e1\u0161tor Hronsk\u00fd Be\u0148adik\" class=\"wp-image-14732\" srcset=\"https:\/\/regiongron.sk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/rsz_2020-10-27_hronsky_benadik_gron_12-1024x626.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/regiongron.sk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/rsz_2020-10-27_hronsky_benadik_gron_12-1024x626-600x367.jpg 600w, https:\/\/regiongron.sk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/rsz_2020-10-27_hronsky_benadik_gron_12-1024x626-768x470.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>More information:&nbsp;+421&nbsp;910&nbsp;852&nbsp;085<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Web:&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/klastorbenadik.nrb.sk\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"http:\/\/klastorbenadik.nrb.sk\/\">www.klastorbenadik.nrb.sk <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Address: Pod Kl\u00e1\u0161torom 1, Hronsk\u00fd Be\u0148adik,&nbsp; 966 53<\/p>\n\n\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border:none\" src=\"https:\/\/mapy.com\/s\/maperavoce\" width=\"100%\" height=\"350\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t<div \n\t\t\tclass=\"wp-block-uagb-google-map uagb-google-map__wrap uagb-block-988c65c5     \"\n\t\t\tstyle=\"\" >\n\t\t\t\t<embed\n\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"uagb-google-map__iframe\"\n\t\t\t\t\ttitle=\"Google Map for \"\n\t\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?q=Benedikt%C3%ADnsky%20kl%C3%A1%C5%A1tor&z=12&hl=sk&t=m&output=embed&iwloc=near\"\n\t\t\t\t\twidth=\"640\"\n\t\t\t\t\theight=\"300\"\n\t\t\t\t\tloading=\"lazy\"\n\t\t\t\t><\/embed>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hronsk\u00fd Be\u0148adik boasts the second oldest abbey founded in Slovakia, known as the Pearl of Pohronie.
