Bernardin Monastry in Alwernia, Baroque monastery in Alwernia, Poland
The monastery features four wings arranged around a central square garth with surrounding cloisters and a church with detailed architectural elements.
Founded in 1616 by Krzysztof Piotr Koryciński, the stone structure replaced the original wooden building between 1625 and 1656.
The monastery maintains its religious function with regular services, spiritual guidance, and educational programs for the local community.
Located on the south-west slope of Podskale hill, the monastery complex includes a church, cloisters, and gardens open to visitors.
The semi-defensive layout incorporates a stone wall with a fortified tower and bow gates, characteristic of Bernardine architecture.
