Sites and sights to see

English / Polish / Czech / Slovak
castle / zamek / zámek / zámok
cathedral / katedra / katedrála / katedrála
church / kościół / kostel / kostol
monastery / klasztor / klášter / kláštor
monument / pomnik / pomnik / pamätníkpalace /pałac / palác / palác

A few of these, at least, should look pretty familiar.  For the most part they’re imports.  Just to help out a little:

The words for “cathedral” are pretty obvious.
The words for “church” are like “hostel.”
The words for “monastery” are like “cloister.”
The words for “palace” should be obvious.
