Bernardine Monastery in Tykocin, Baroque monastery in Tykocin, Poland
The Bernardine Monastery follows a horseshoe-shaped plan with a two-story structure, gable roofs, and a gate-belfry entrance topped by a round arch.
Jan Klemens Branicki funded the monastery's construction in 1771, though the monks could not move into the completed buildings until 1791 due to delays.
The monastery complex includes the Church of Annunciation, a courtyard with a Virgin Mary sculpture, and spaces that supported religious education and community gatherings.
The former monastery now operates as the St Francis of Assisi Social Welfare Home under Caritas management, maintaining its role in community service.
The monastery contains both barrel and double-barrel vaults within its structure, representing architectural techniques from the Late Baroque period.
