Krzeszów Abbey, Cistercian abbey in Krzeszow, Poland.
The monastery features twin towers with sail vaults, a central dome, and five bays of chapels along the cruciform nave of the church.
The Cistercian order arrived at Krzeszow in 1292 after Duke Bolko I purchased the land from Benedictine monks who had settled there in 1242.
The interior decorations include vault paintings by Georg Wilhelm Neunhertz and sculptures by Ferdinand Maximilian Brokoff depicting religious themes and biblical stories.
The monastery complex contains a guest house built in 1734, offering accommodations for visitors who wish to explore the religious and architectural heritage.
The main altar houses a 13th-century icon of the Mother of God, recognized as the oldest Marian image in Poland and among the five oldest in Europe.
