Built for a party of about level 7: random treasure here is rolled for that level.

## Places

- [The Abbey of St. Markovia](https://curseofstrahd.app/wiki/locations/the-abbey-of-st-markovia.md): A walled stone abbey on a shelf of the mountain above Krezk: a church wing, an east wing of old wards, a bell tower, a cart shed and a walled garden. Built by a saint for the sick and the motherless; kept now by the Abbot and the Belview family he has been improving.
- [The Abbey Garden](https://curseofstrahd.app/wiki/locations/the-abbey-garden.md): The abbey's walled kitchen garden, gone to frost: raised beds of black stalks, a tool shed, the nuns' little graveyard in the corner, and a row of scarecrows along the north wall that the Abbot stitched himself.
- [The Church of St. Markovia](https://curseofstrahd.app/wiki/locations/the-church-of-st-markovia.md): The abbey's church: a nave of plain pews, an altar on its step under a great gilded sunburst, the Abbot's bare cell on one side and the sacristy on the other. Where the Abbot works, prays and means to wake his bride.
- [The Wards of St. Markovia](https://curseofstrahd.app/wiki/locations/the-wards-of-st-markovia.md): The abbey's east wing: the Belview family's warren in the old kitchen, the infirmary hall, the foundling ward where the abbey once raised the valley's orphans, a row of barred cells, the matron's locked room, and the surgery where Vasilka lies waiting under a sheet.
