Poland Benedictine abbey Tyniec

  • Please log in or sign up for free to see the GPS coordinates & weather for this photo spot
The Benedictine Abbey is picturesquely situated on a rocky promontory overlooking the Vistula River, approximately 10 km west of Kraków. Founded in the 11th century (remnants of the original Romanesque basilica have been preserved), it has been repeatedly transformed and expanded, notably in the 15th and 17th centuries. The alterations introduced in the Baroque style were crucial for its contemporary guise, with a characteristic façade and two towers. The well in the yard fronting the church was dug 40 m (130 ft) deep into sheer rock.
