Kołbacz Abbey, Cistercian monastery in Kołbacz, Poland.
The monastery complex contains Gothic brick structures including the church, lay brothers' house, abbot's residence, and Prison Tower spanning over 5 hectares.
Duke Bogusław I confirmed the establishment of the monastery in 1173, bringing Cistercian monks from Esrum Abbey in Denmark to settle in Pomerania.
The monastery served as a burial place for Pomeranian dukes, with Duke Barnim I interred in the presbytery of the main church.
The Municipal Public Library currently operates in the former Abbot's House, which was constructed during the 14th century as part of the cloisters.
The monastery's nave contains the region's oldest preserved wooden structure, a four-story granary system dating from the 17th century.
