A place full of prayer, silence and concentration, everyone will find something for themselves here. The Discalced Brothers are warm, prayerful and available!

A very nice, Renaissance church from 1635-44. A very interesting building in terms of architecture.

A beautiful place where you can definitely feel the souls of the Renaissance. The interior is beautiful. I recommend.

Sebastian Limek (2 years ago)
One of the most beautiful examples of the Lublin Renaissance, characterized by e.g. very decorative and distinctive attics, delicate, sandy-white colors, massive buttresses and an interior with stucco-covered vaults. In this church it is all there, and at the same time in the most outstanding form of it.
