Igreja e Convento de Arnóia

Arnoia, Portugal

The Monastery of São Bento de Arnóia, also known as the Monastery of São João de Arnóia or the Church and Convent of Arnóia, is a former Benedictine monastery located in the civil parish of Arnóia, in the municipality of Celorico de Basto, in the Braga District, Portugal. The complex is under heritage classification and corresponds to a former monastic establishment of the Order of Saint Benedict. After the extinction of the religious orders in Portugal in 1834, its property passed to the parish of Arnóia, and part of the former dependencies was later used for social and charitable purposes. Today, the former monastic complex is linked to the Santa Casa da Misericórdia de São Bento de Arnóia and retains social functions.
