Benedictine monastery in Mogilno, Benedictine monastery and church building in Mogilno, Poland.

The monastery features a late-Romanesque architectural style with Gothic elements, including two towers flanking the main entrance and vaulted interior spaces.

The monastery, established in the 11th century by either Casimir the Restorer or Bolesław the Bold, served as a base for missionary work in Mazovia and Pomerania.

The monastery maintains Benedictine traditions of communal living, where monks follow Saint Benedict's Rule combining daily prayer, work, and study activities.

The monastery complex includes multiple buildings arranged around a central courtyard, with separate areas designated for worship, living quarters, and administrative functions.

During the Swedish invasions of the 17th century, the monastery experienced significant disruption, leading to its later transformation into an educational facility and hospital.
