The monastery Wągrowiec (Wongrowitz) is a former Cistercian abbey in Poland. It was in the Polish city ​​of Wągrowiec ( Greater Poland Voivodeship ); Pow. Wągrowiec.

history

The monastery was founded in 1143 in Lekno ( Łekno in Polish , in the rural community of Wągrowiec ) as the second subsidiary of the Altenberg monastery in the Bergisches Land from the filiation of the Morimond primary abbey by the noble Zbilut. From the Łekno Monastery, Obra Monastery was founded as another subsidiary monastery. In 1396 it was moved to Wągrowiec (Wongrowitz). It was a so-called Cologne monastery (see Monastery Ląd - Lond, Monastery Obra); until around 1553 only Cologne residents were admitted to the convent. They moved to Heinrichau Monastery in 1553 . The occupation with native Cologne residents led to disputes, which were brought up to the General Chapter (1489) and the Polish Diet (1537). Until 1629 the Baroque composer Adam von Wągrowiec ( Adam z Wągrowca ) was the organist here. In 1835 the monastery was secularized. The role of the “Cologne monasteries” in the history of settlement (eastern colonization) is assessed differently.

Buildings and plant

In Łekno there was no closed building complex until the Cistercians left. But the foundations are still there. The complex in Wągrowiec is from the 15th century, from 1501 to 1528 the east wing was rebuilt. After a major fire in 1747, the monastery was rebuilt on the Gothic foundations. The cloister is to the right of the church. The church in Wągrowiec was consecrated in 1493. The existing church is a plastered building from the end of the 18th century, a three-aisled vaulted hall with a two-tower facade. It was destroyed in 1945 and rebuilt from 1946 to 1952.
