Premonstratensian Provostship of Leles

The Premonstratensian Provostship of Leles in Eastern Slovakia was founded by the Bishop of Vác, with the help of King Béla III, at the end of the 12th century. This is attested to by the Leles Foundation Charter, dating from 1214, which was issued by King András II. Its church was built in the Gothic style in the 14th century, to be later modified in the baroque style. The monastery surrounds a rectangular courtyard, on the northern side of the church. The monastery’s Gothic style St. Mihály Chapel is decorated with 15th century frescoes
