Ląd Abbey, Cistercian monastery in Ląd, Greater Poland.
The Gothic monastery features a 38-meter elliptical dome, decorated with frescoes and surrounded by Baroque architectural elements in its central section.
Founded in 1145 by Duke Mieszko III, the abbey received monks from Altenberg near Cologne, who managed the estate until the 16th century.
The Oratory of St. James contains medieval frescoes from 1360 with heraldic decorations and a donation scene representing Polish medieval art.
The abbey now functions as a Salesian seminary, maintaining regular religious services and offering guided tours of its historical chambers.
A ten-sided pillar supports the tripartite stellar vaults in the chapter house, dating from 1360 and representing medieval architectural excellence.
