Abbey of Henryków, Cistercian abbey in Henryków, Poland
The monastic complex features a Baroque church with detailed ornamental decorations, bell towers, and a rectangular courtyard surrounded by monastery buildings.
The monastery, founded in 1222 by Prince Henry the Bearded, developed into a regional center until the Mongol invasion of 1241 destroyed its structures.
The Henryków Book, written between the 13th and 14th centuries to document monastery properties, contains the first recorded sentence in Polish language.
The abbey opens its doors to visitors from May through September, offering guided tours of the church, chapels, and surrounding gardens.
The monastery buildings include a preserved cylindrical defense tower from medieval times, integrated into the stone perimeter wall.
