Kiessa Monastery was a monastery on the planet Bajor.
During the Cardassian Occupation of Bajor, the monastery was burned to the ground by four hundred Cardassian soldiers, who had been told that it was being used to hide weapons for the Bajoran Resistance. Seventeen unarmed monks were killed.
Tekeny Ghemor, then nineteen years old, was among the Cardassian soldiers present at the massacre. Gul Dukat revealed this fact to Major Kira Nerys in 2373, in an attempt to undermine Ghemor. (DS9: "Ties of Blood and Water")
