Hermitage Houses

Warsaw, Poland

The Camaldolese Church in Warsaw, is situated among 13 buildings of the hermitage, built in the 17th century.
Hermitages, that is, eremtes' houses with a garden at the front, surrounded by a wall, each of which was dedicated to one monk, were built according to strict monastic rules.
In line with the regulations, a house of a hermit consisted of a hall along the axis, a chapel on the right, a cell and a woodshed on the left. Some of the houses have gable roofs, some of them hip roofs.
