Former Bernardine Monastery in Wrocław
Former Bernardine Monastery in Wrocław, Religious building complex in Wrocław, Poland
The monastery features brick construction with Gothic and Baroque elements, including a church, living quarters, and educational facilities spanning multiple connected structures.
Founded in 1453 by John Capistran, the monastery began with an oratory and expanded to include a brick church dedicated to Saint Bernard of Siena in 1463.
The Bernardine friary emerged as a central hub for the Observant movement through provincial chapters held in 1453 and 1454, influencing religious practices.
The building now houses the Museum of Architecture, offering visitors access to exhibits about architectural history and preservation within its medieval walls.
Lightning struck the church tower three separate times, in 1557, 1589, and 1609, leading to repeated reconstructions of this particular architectural element.
