Klasztor Cysterek w Owińskach, Cistercian monastery and church in Owińska, Poland

The monastery complex features a brick church building with a bell tower, surrounded by extensive landscaped gardens and agricultural grounds.

Founded between 1242 and 1252 under Duke Przemysł I of Greater Poland, the monastery was initially led by his sister Anna as the first abbess.

The church interior contains Baroque frescoes by Adam Swach depicting the daily activities of Cistercian sisters who lived in the monastery.

The former monastery buildings now function as a Special Educational Centre for Blind Children, while the church serves as a parish church.

The monastery controlled 120 square kilometers of agricultural land and several surrounding villages, including Biedrusko and Czerwonak.
