The Przemęt (Priment) ([ ˈpʃɛmɛnt ]) monastery, also known as Mariensee (Lacus Sanctae Mariae) - not identical to the Mariensee Monastery in Neustadt am Rübenberge - is a former Cistercian abbey in Poland . It was in the Greater Poland Voivodeship , pow. Wolsztyn , in the Przemęt commune .

history

The foundation took place in 1278 in Altkloster (Kaszczor, in the Wollstein district ). It was a daughter monastery of Paradyż ( Kloster Paradies ) from the line of Lehnin in Brandenburg, which in turn is derived from the filiation of the primary abbey Morimond via Sittichenbach , Walkenried , Kamp (Altencamp) . In 1285 the monastery was moved a few kilometers east to Missing (Wieleń, today Wieleń Zaobrzański ) and in 1416 by King Wladislaus Jagiello to Przemęt . In 1554 it received its first Polish abbot. In 1810 (according to other sources not until 1834) it was abolished.

Buildings and plant

The church, now the parish church, is an unplastered brick building, started in 1651, consecrated in 1696, by Jerzy and Jan Catenazzi, who are fairly faithful to the models of the Italian religious churches of the Counter-Reformation (Dehio). It was called the most beautiful church building in the province of Poznan (Dehio). It is a three-aisled, cruciform basilica with a rectangular choir, the central and transepts have barrel vaults with lancet caps, there is a support dome over the crossing, the apses are cross-vaulted. The church has rich baroque furnishings and "moderate stucco" (Dehio), which is attributed to Adalberto Bianchi. The western front had two towers, the southern one was destroyed in 1792 and initially not rebuilt, the northern one has a curved helmet from 1725. The enclosure is to the right of the church; it dates from 1604.
