Abstract
The paper gives a comprehensive presentation and assessment of the stone carvings recovered in the excavation of the medieval Szent Kereszt [Holy Cross] Pauline monastery of Kesztölc-Klastrompuszta in 1959–1961. The evaluation of the 93 Gothic carvings contributes greatly to our understanding of the building history and transformations of the Pauline monastery. The carvings of the chapter house and the monastery church are assessed independently. The stone carvings point to a single, comprehensive reconstruction conducted in the late Angevine era.
