Klasztor Klarysek w Bydgoszczy, 17th-century Poor Clares monastery in Bydgoszcz, Poland

The monastery complex includes a church with a polychrome coffered ceiling from the 17th-18th centuries and artworks by Leon Wyczółkowski.

Founded in 1615 through the initiative of Zofia Czarnkowska, Andrzej Rozdrażewski, and Kasper Zebrzydowski with approval from King Sigismund III Vasa.

The Poor Clares maintained a school for girls, teaching reading, writing, arithmetic, and household skills while pursuing their contemplative religious life.

The monastery church, now managed by Capuchin fathers since 1997, contains preserved interior elements and religious artifacts from different periods.

After its dissolution in 1835, the monastery building transformed into a hospital facility and later became the Regional Museum of Bydgoszcz in 1946.
