Two-stage cache at the Ruins of the Pauline monastery of Szentjakab

Nagyvázsony was the settlement of Pál Kinizsi in the Middle Ages. He was a heroic Hungarian patriot who held off the Turkish invaders. Within striking distance of his fortress were some mysterious Pauline monasteries. The Pauline Fathers an order of the Roman Catholic Church, formed in 1250 in Hungary. The name of order is derived from the first hermit Saint Paul of Thebes (d. c. 345). The walls of several monasteries still standing. One of these ruins is the 700 years old church in Szentjakab at the given coordinates. It might have built in 12-13th century and was named after the patron saint of the village Saint James. The monastery and the village destroyed during the Turkish occupation of Hungary (around 1680). The resettlement of village started after Turkish time. The evangelical soldiers of the castle didn't want to come under laird's control after brake-up the castle's guard. They built the new settlement, Nemesleányfalu a little bit farther from the earlier village.
