history

The cloister

Ląd Monastery was founded in 1175 by Duke Miezko and settled as the third daughter monastery of Altenberg in the Bergisches Land from the filiation of the Morimond Primary Abbey , according to recent research not until 1175 or 1186 (the alleged foundation in 1145 is said to be based on a forgery of the deed of foundation in the second half of the 13th century). It was a so-called "Cologne monastery" (see Wągrowiec - Wongrowitz Monastery, Obra Monastery ). Until the middle of the 16th century, Ląd Monastery was only occupied by Cologne monks. They left the monastery in 1553, after which the “Polish” period began. In 1796 most of the land was confiscated by the Kingdom of Prussia. The monastery was closed in 1819. The monastery was used by Capuchins from 1850 to 1864 ; the Salesians of Don Bosco have used it since 1921 .
