Klasztor Bernardynów w Bydgoszczy, Bernardine religious complex in Old Town, Bydgoszcz, Poland.
The monastery and church demonstrate Gothic and Renaissance architectural elements with a square-based bell tower and decorative brick construction on Bernardyńska Street.
Established in 1480 by Bernardine monks from Kraków under King Casimir IV Jagiellon's invitation, the monastery became the third such institution in Poland.
Between 1518 and 1524, Abbot Bartholomew of Bydgoszcz contributed to local education by creating a library, rhetoric school, and Latin-Polish dictionary.
The church maintains regular religious services and welcomes visitors to explore its stellar vaulted nave, 17th-century tombstones, and historical architectural features.
The monastery's reconstruction in 1552 followed specific height restrictions from King Sigismund II Augustus to ensure it remained lower than the neighboring castle.
