- The Cistercians Tour-

Trzebnica-Lubiąż-Legnickie Pole Discover the history of the Order of Cistercians which produced around 850 Saints and Blesseds.

The attraction of the tour is the town of Trzebnica with the oldest Cistercian convent in Poland. The site, founded in the 14th century has also been famous for the cult of Saint Hedwig of Andechs. We will see her impressive baroque sarcofagus sculpted out of marble and alabaster.

Our tour takes us then to Lubiąż where the largest Cistercian abbey in the world is located. This one of the largest of all the European monasteries is more than twice as the size of the Wawel Castle in Krakow and boasts of the longest baroque facade in Europe. You will surely admire the two-storey Prince Hall embellished with sculptures by a Wrocław master - Józef Mangoldt as well as a plafond and murals by Krystiana Filipa Bentuma. The hall is considered to be one of the finest achievements of the Silesian baroque. Finally, we get to the baroque church of Saint Hedwig and the former Benedictine abbey situated in Legnickie Pole.
