Tyniec Benedictine Abbey

Highlight • Religious Site

Abbey The Benedictine monastery in Tyniec was founded in the first half of the 11th century as a Romanesque church complex and is the oldest operating monastery in Poland. Numerous reconstructions have changed the original character of the building and, next to the Romanesque elements, you can see the Gothic presbytery and the Baroque nave, with particularly valuable altarpieces by Francesco Placidi. During the partitions in 1816, the abbey was liquidated. The monks returned to Tyniec only in July 1939. Unfortunately, the reconstruction of the complex could take place only after the Second World War, and the status of the abbey was restored to the monastery in 1968. The Benedictines conduct a wide range of activities in the abbey, including a publishing house, a hotel, a restaurant and a sales center where you can buy various specialties made according to the monastic recipe: preserves, honeys, teas, herbs and liqueurs. The Institute of Culture operates in the renovated wing of the library. You can visit the church, the cloisters and the lapidarium with an interesting exhibition of monuments related to the history of the abbey.

A bridge over Vistula, right besides the highway bridge in Tyniec, with nice views for sunrise. Smooth, concrete surface though access from the north requires riding on a grassy embankment (single-track) or through a ditch which gets really muddy after the rain.

You have to wake up early to see this, but it's worth it :)
