Pauline Monastery and Rock Chapel

The church carved in rock in 1926 as imitation of the cave of Lourdes at the southern slope of Gellért Hill, and the Pauline monastery built in 1934 are important stages in the twentieth-century reorganisation movement of the order.

In spite of the frequent dissolutions, the Paulines started again their activity in 1989 in their monastery at Buda. Their chapel is one of the most interesting ecclesiastical monuments of the capital.
