Cistercian monastery Szpetal

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Cistercian monastery Szpetal (also: St. Godehard or St. Gotthard ) was a Cistercian monastery in Szpetal (Szpetal Dolny) near Leslau in Poland from 1228 to 1285 .

history

The St. Godehard Monastery, founded in 1228 on the Vistula near Leslau (Polish: Włocławek ), looked after a hospital, from which the place name Szpetal (Spital) developed. The monks came from the Georgenthal monastery . In 1252 the convent was subordinate to the Sulejów Monastery and in 1285 it was incorporated into the Byszew Monastery, which was moved to Koronowo three years later . In the early 14th century the monastery in Szpetal was extinguished. In Szpetal Dolny (sub-hospital) only the street name “Cysterska” reminds of it.
