Lubiąż Abbey, Cistercian abbey in Lubiąż, Poland.

The massive monastery complex stretches along a 223-meter facade, containing over 600 windows and towering above the Oder River banks.

Duke Bolesław I the Tall established the monastery in 1175, bringing Cistercian monks from Pforta Abbey to settle in the densely forested area.

The monastery became a center of learning in East-Central Europe during the 14th century, featuring an advanced school and manuscript production facility.

The Fundacja Lubiąż foundation manages the restoration efforts since 1989, focusing on preserving the baroque architecture and historical elements.

The complex served as a Telefunken radar receiver factory during World War II, with forced laborers from Luxembourg manufacturing military equipment.
