Former monastery ground of Bernardines (nowadays the base of Muzeum Regionalne)
This complex consists of a gothic church of the Assumption of Virgin Mary and the convent. The temple was consecrated in 1489. In 1565–1638 the monastery belonged to the town and a protestant school was organised there. In 1810 due to the dissolution of the Order the church become the town’s property. At that time it was the army arsenal and within the monastic building there was a bureau of investigation. Within 1845 – 1964 the whole monastery ground got ruined. In 1964 it was donated to the Regionalne Museum which within the years 1964 till 1986 rebuilt and restored it completely. Inside the complex there are late gothic frescoes displaying the Passion of Christ, St Bernardine, St Franciszek stigmatisation, fragments of Last Supper and the Fall under the cross. On the church’s vault some paintings with a floral pattern can be found together with XVII century illusionistic painting – side naves.
