In the heart of Poznań, the black friars, also known as the Conventuals, found their home in the 17th century. They chose the majestic Castle Hill, now known as Przemysł Hill, as the site for their church. Commissioned by Jan Koński, the church was constructed between 1674 and 1757, standing as a testament to the city's rich history. The accompanying monastery was built from 1672 to 1749, located to the east of the church. However, after the order was suppressed in 1834, much of the monastery was dismantled, leaving only its northern part intact, which still stands today.
When you visit, take a moment to appreciate the surviving architecture that whispers stories of its past. The church's design reflects the Baroque style, which was popular in Europe at the time, known for its grandeur and intricate details. Inside, you might find peace and quiet, offering a perfect escape from the bustling city life. Don't forget to explore the surrounding area; Przemysł Hill provides a beautiful view of Poznań, perfect for a leisurely stroll or a moment of reflection.
