Church and monastery oo. Reformat is one of the most important monuments of Konin. Late-Baroque monastic buildings are still a monastic residence to this day. Within them is an interesting church of St. Mary Magdalene.

The interior of the church is covered by baroque vaults. There are three reconstructed surviving fragments of eighteenth century wooden altars.
