Poor Clare Nuns monastery in Stary Sącz, 13th-century Poor Clare monastery in Stary Sącz, Poland.
The monastery complex includes a Gothic church with an elongated five-span nave and a presbytery arch narrower than the main structure.
Princess Kinga of Kraków-Sandomierz founded the monastery in 1280, donating the city of Stary Sącz and 28 villages to establish the religious institution.
The baroque altar in the chapel displays a wooden statue of Saint Kinga from 1470, carved in linden wood by medieval craftsmen.
The monastery maintains regular mass schedules, religious ceremonies, and offers guided tours through its historical chambers and courtyards during designated hours.
The structure underwent transformation by Italian builder Jan de Simoni in the early 17th century, resulting in its current baroque architectural configuration.
