THE SAINT CLARE SISTERS’ CONVENT


General

Unit type:

It is worth while seeing.

A Baroque brick church was founded by Anna Zamoyska (from the Gniński family), the wife the fourth entailer, Marcin Zamoyski, according to J. M. Link’s design. The façade of the church faced the Wodny Market Square. In 1757 Jan Jakub Zamoyski founded a three-wing one-storey convent building situated by the church. In 1817 the convent was converted into a plain building to be used for secular purposes. Church decorations including two gables were hacked off, the little bell was dismantled and the interior of the church was divided with a ceiling. During the interwar period the buildings housed a police station. At present the complex is undergoing a major renovation and is going to house The K. Szymanowski State Music School.
