The age of the monk is estimated at 500-700 years. At a height of 1.3 m from the ground, its circumference is slightly over 7 m, and at the ground level it is over 10 m.
Legend has it that the oak grew at the site of the heroic death of the monk Rotwald, who was the founder of the nearby village of Mnichów. The monk, probably a Cistercian from the Jędrzejów monastery, was to die in defense of a woman attacked by robbers.
