Monastery of Benedicts consist of fortified sacred buildings in Hronsky Benadik village. Monastery is located on Pohronsky Inovec south spur near river Hron. Monastery of Benedicts was sanctified in 1075 coram ugrian king Gejza I.

Place for monastery was chosen very carefully. It was "slovak gate" to region of Pohronie, there was a bussiness route between Nitra city and mines locations. This area was settled in period of Velka Morava.

here was preserved very little from the initial Romanesque complex (since 1075). Archeological reconnoissance in 1881-1883 uncovered a walling which belongs to the oldest monastery building in these territory. There were probably three-aisled basilica and cloistered buildings in the south. These buildings existed only for 3 hundred years. In 14th century falled whole complex. Cloistered buildings and church were pulled down. Baptistery and big wooden sacrum were preserved.

Actual building complex was built between 1345 and 1350 under rule of King Ludovit I. Great from Anjou. On 21st of July 1881 the monastery was almost burned-off completely. Then it was rebuilt into Neo-Gothic style.

Benediktinsky klastor v Hronskom Benadiku tvori subor opevnenych sakralnych stavieb v obci Hronský Benadik v okrese Zarnovica v Banskobystrickom kraji. Nachadza sa na juznych vybezkoch Pohronskeho Inovca v udoli rieky Hron.

Benediktinske opatstvo v Hronskom Benadiku slavnostne posvatili v roku 1075 v pritomnosti zakladatela klastora, uhorskeho krala Gejzu I.

Miesto vzniku nasho najstarsieho romanskeho klastora nebolo zvolene nahodne. Malo priaznive prirodné podmienky (Slovenská brana otvarajuca vstup na Pohronie) a existovala tu stara obchodna cesta spajajúua Nitru s banskymi lokalitami, z ktorych sa neskorsie vyvinuli kralovske mesta.

Archeologicky vyskum potvrdil, ze toto miesto bolo obyvané uz vo velkomoravskom obdobi.

Z prvotneho romanskeho komplexu (z r. 1075) sa zachovalo velmi malo. Prieskum konany na tejto lokalite uz v rokoch 1881 - 1883 odkryl muriva patriace k najstarsim klastornym stavbam na nasom uzemi. Boli to pravdepodobne trojlodova bazilika a juzne od nej leziace klastorne budovy. Tieto stavby tu vsak jestvovali iba asi tristo rokov. Prva polovica 14. storocia priniesla chatranie objektu a zborenie klastornych budov i kostola. Z interieroveho vybavenia sa zachovali iba krstitelnica a velky dreveny kriz.

K stavbe dnedneho komlexu budov doslo za vlady krala Ludovita I. Velkeho z Anjou v rokoch 1345 - 1350

Zaciatok 16. storocia niesol so sebou narastanie tureckeho nebezpecenstva ale i utoky miestneho obyvatelstva, pre ktorych klastor predstavoval feudalneho vykoristovatela.

Tragickym dnom pre klastor sa stal 21. júl 1881, kedy boli budovy klastora zachvatene velkym poziarom. Ten poskodil objekt natolko, ze kapitula v Ostrihome bola nutena pristupit k rozsiahlym upravam.

Prestavba v style neogotiky vsak znamenala dalsi ubytok dovtedy pomerne zachovanych casti klastora - napr. bola odstranena vstupna brana s padacim mostom.
