A Cistercian church and monastery complex from the 12th century with a Romanesque chapter house covered with a cross-ribbed vault.
The Romanesque monastery church of St. Mary and St. Florian from the 13th century is preserved intact. The church, with features of Italian architecture, is the oldest signed building in Poland (signature of Arch. Simon on the facade). The interior is 17th-century Baroque but the plan of the three-nave church is a typical Romanesque one. The monastery was completely rebuilt in the 17th century, but some interiors from the 13th century have been preserved.
They include the monks' meeting room (chapter house), considered the most beautiful Romanesque interior in Poland. Another Romanesque element is the monks' work room (fraternity), the solitary confinement room under the stairs, while the beautiful dining room (refectory) from the mid-13th century is early Romanesque. The monastery had heated rooms (except for the dormitory).
