how to get there

 

A mannerist Baroque complex of the church and monastery is one of the most magnificent monuments of religious architecture in Podkarpackie. It is also one of the main centres of Marian Devotions in the region. The church has beautiful interior furnishings, including the famous pipe organ. The fortified monastery with its varied defensive structures is a rare example of this type of defensive construction from the 17th and 18th centuries. Every year the monastery museum hosts organ music festivals.
