The first monographic study on the architecture of a Franciscan and Poor Clare monasticconvent complex with the church of the Assumption of the Holy Virgin Mary and St. Anthony and a Poor Clare oratory in Gniezno. The book discusses the history of the transformations of the monument from the mid-thirteenth century to the 1950s. The presented object is the only example of a realised architectural programme in Poland which took into account the coexistence of the male and female line of the order within a church-monastic complex. The author proposed an indepth analysis of the early history of the establishment of the church-monastic premise against the backdrop of the historical events of the period – the unrealised pre-1279 project pursued under the auspices of Bolesław the Pious and the redesigning conducted in the 1430s.
