The Pauline Monastery

Its shining white façade reflected in the bucolic Kupa river that flows alongside it, the Pauline Monastery looks as pristine now as it did when it was built in 1404. Together with the equally stark white Our Lady of the Snows Church alongside, constructed at the same time, these ecclesiastical landmarks are set at Kamensko, just outside Karlovac. Rebuilt after war-time damage, the monastery contains impressive frescoes and sculptures and still holds services, particularly on Assumption Day and Ascension Day.
