The Benedictine monastery in Mogilno is one of the oldest abbeys in Poland, which forms a three-nave parish church of St. Mary. John the Apostle and a team of monastic buildings.
In the interior of the church you can see the equipment from the 16th to 18th century, which consists of the main altar, side altars and rococo pulpit with richly decorated balustrade. The attraction is also a fresco of Jan Okrolniewicz's paintbrush from Gniezno in 1814. Renovated and modernized monastic buildings now occupy the spaces of the European Center of Dialogue. Monastic buildings were made of granite strikes and elements made of meadow necrosis. To this day, buildings can be found traces the first walls of the abbey. Part of the church preserved fragments of Romanesque and Gothic walls.
The abbey dates back to the 11th century and is associated with the monastery of black monks brought from today's Belgian Liège. The abnormality of the monastery is reduced to its location in the center of the old town, in contrast to the custom of placing monasteries on the sidelines, away from human settlements. The founder of the Benedictine monastery was Kazimierz Odnowiciel.
