history
Augustinian Canons
The monastery was founded before 1140 by Count Jaxa (= Jaxa von Köpenick). Further information about this monastery is not known.
Premonstratensian women
In 1247 a Premonstratensian monastery was founded in its place by Duke Bolesław the Chaste of Lesser Poland. The nuns came from the Strzelno monastery , the monastery was subordinated to the Premonstratensian Abbey of St. Vincent near Breslau .
Premonstratensians
In 1415 the nuns were moved to Busko as a merger of three monasteries, and the Premonstratensians came to Krzyżanowice, who formed a provost of the Witów Monastery there. Since 1781 the settlement was subordinated to the Brzesko Monastery. In 1819 the occupation with canons was ended.
St. Thekla Church
No traces are known today of the first monastery churches of the 12th and 13th centuries.
In 1626 a newly built church was consecrated, which burned down in 1782. From 1786 to 1789 a church of St. Thekla was built in the classical style, which is still one of the monuments of this architecture in Poland. The architect was Stanisław Zawadzki , who commissioned the reformers Hugo Kołłątaj as a former chaplain.
