Klasztor Cysterek w Żarnowcu, Medieval Cistercian monastery in Żarnowiec, Poland
The monastery complex features a Gothic church with a rectangular layout and remaining cloister buildings constructed using traditional Cistercian architectural methods.
Founded in 1245 by Cistercians from Oliwa Abbey, the monastery received protection from Pope Innocent IV and official approval from Prince Mestwin II in 1279.
The monastery functioned as an educational center with a girls' school established in 1750, contributing to the preservation of Polish traditions during foreign rule.
Visitors can explore the church, monastery buildings, and treasury containing religious artifacts at ul. Klasztorna 1 in Żarnowiec.
Eleven stone border markers from 1342 designated the monastery's territory under Grand Master Ludolf von König during the Teutonic Knights period.
