The foundation dates back to 1629, initially belonging to the Greater Poland province of the Reformed St. Anthony. Its founders were: Marcin Wierusz Kowalski, Paweł Niewęgłowski and Fr. Franciszek Frakstyn [1]. The monastery was erected in the years 1629-1634. In the years 1645-53 the monastery was a refuge for Irish monks escaping from their country from religious persecution. In 1655 the Swedes plundered the monastery complex, and in the years 1662-1800 the order had a higher theological seminary. In the years 1737-1754 the monastery was expanded to its present size. In 1864 it was canceled by a tsarist decree for the involvement of monks in the January Uprising. In 1921 he was again taken over by the Order and the Wrocław Province of St. Jadwiga. In 1923 he became part of the reborn Province of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary of the Order of Friars Minor in Poland [1]. In the interwar period, it served as a novitiate. In the post-war period, it was partially occupied by the state for public purposes. The Church of the Annunciation of the Lord has a unique polychrome, which was thoroughly renovated after World War II [2] [3]. It was built in the baroque style, brick, oriented, with a single nave. Rococo decor inside. The monastery houses paintings by the 19th-century Franciscan painter, Fr. Rafał Ernest Credo. In 1936, Father Euzebiusz Huchracki, OFM, was the vicar of the convent.
