The monastery complex
Church from the East

The medieval, late Gothic fortifications are unique in their preservation. The cloister is to the right of the church. The square chapter house dates from the second quarter of the 13th century; its vault with four fields rests on a column with a leaf capital and similarly decorated wall brackets. A two-arcade passage leads to the cloister, next to it there are twin openings with three-pass arches and pillars that were replaced in the 19th century. The Gothic cloister with ribbed vaults and heraldic consoles dates from the beginning of the 15th century. Large parts of the late Gothic fortifications have been preserved. The church, a late Romanesque building, was consecrated in 1232 and restored from 1923 to 1928 and 1946 to 1950. It belongs to the monastery Koprzywnica , Monastery Wąchock and jędrzejów abbey to the building works of the Italian master Simon to be connected group.

The basket capitals are decorated with plants or braided ribbon, the vault capitals are usually decorated with rosettes or braided ribbon. The outer facades have protruding pilaster strips and round windows in the gable walls. The facade has a rose window with partially preserved tracery.
