Church of the Assumption in Kartuzy, Gothic church in Kartuzy, Poland

The Church of the Assumption exhibits Gothic architectural elements with brick walls and features a distinctive baroque roof shaped like a coffin.

The church originated as part of a Carthusian monastery complex in 1381, where monks followed strict contemplative practices and maintained 18 hermitages.

The sundial and skull with the inscription Memento Mori on the chancel wall reflect the Carthusian order's deep connection to mortality meditation.

Visitors can locate the church at Klasztorna Street 5 in Kartuzy and arrange access by calling the provided phone number when the building is closed.

The monastery grounds contain a horseshoe formation of structures, including the church and former hermitages, representing traditional Carthusian architectural planning.
