Buildings and plant

The monastery church

The church was built with the inclusion of parts of a Romanesque system in the west wall in the first quarter of the 12th century. It is a pillar basilica with a four-bay nave and transept, with two side chapels on each of the arms (cf. Sulejów Monastery ). It was changed several times, for example in the second half of the 15th century and in the Baroque period from 1728 to 1730, 1732 to 1742 and 1751 to 1754. A blind facade and towers were added to the east. The stalls, pulpit, organ and high altar are from the late baroque era. A side chapel contains the relics of Wincenty Kadłubek . The cloister is to the right of the church. The monastery buildings were partially demolished at the beginning of the 20th century.
