On the old trade route from Hungary to Poland, near a ford over the Dunajec River, before the river cut through the Pieniny Mountains, a hermitage was established, where the monastery was founded in 1320. As atonement for the murder of a provost of the Teutonic Knights of Šariš, Master Kokos granted the village of Lechnica to the Carthusians of the Rock of Refuge (Skala útočišťa) in 1319 for the establishment of a monastery.
