This Slovak post stamp issued in 2007, depicts Jasov Premonstratensian Monastery (Kláštor Jasov), one of the most valuable Baroque monuments in Slovakia.
Jasov Premonstratensian Monastery is the largest monastery complex in Slovakia and the St. John The Baptist church, which forms its centrepiece, is considered one of the country's most important late-Baroque buildings. Though the present complex dates unquestionably from the 18th century, there has been a monastery here since 1170. The first, probably made of wood, was destroyed by the invading Tatars in 1242. A Romanesque stone monastery soon replaced it and was rebuilt in a fortified style in the 15th century. The site was then completely levelled again in the 18th century to make way for the present Baroque structure.
