Franciscan Monastery

Local name: Klasztor Franciszkanów

The 17th-century church of Our Lady of the Rosary is the heart of the monastery and also the most important monument in the region. The most valuable equipment includes the main altar, side altars, impressive stained glass windows and the vault of the nave with numerous frescoes. The monastery building has a refectory measuring 10 x 18 m, whose basin vault is decorated with frescoes from 1744. In the monastery chapel there is also a Gothic figure of the Madonna from 1500.

The temple was built in 1628-1631, on the site of the former church, but its finishing - due to the poor financial situation of the order - lasted until 1697. In 1810, after the removal of religious brothers, a Catholic garrison church was built here. The Franciscans returned to the monastery complex in 1945. The church underwent a memorable flood of the millennium in 1997, which caused great damage. The renovation lasted until 2007.

In the vicinity of the church there is a complex of three-storey monastery buildings with a gable roof. The horseshoe-shaped baroque object is located around the central close, and the elongated west wing is crowned with cylindrical towers. Currently, Franciscans still live in the monastery.
