Abstract: The article presents the results of architectural and archaeological research conducted in Kamień Pomorski in the area of alleged sacral complex of former Dominican monastery. Its goal was to record survived remains of St Giles’ monastery church, an attempt to recreate its original plan and shape, as well as preliminary determination of scope and chronology of successive transformations. The research results indicate that initially was built a single-nave aisless structure with a rectangular, elongated, straight closed chancel. In its north side was located monastery, probably with cloister garth surrounded by cloisters. Probably in the 15th century, in order to enlarge the church, in the south side an aisle was built. It was created back then most likely an asymmetrical two-aisled church.

In case of the monastery, the metaphor of the “interior” as a world is particularly justified. If the exterior and interior form a “dialectic of rupture” (as put by Gaston Bachelard), then the microcosm of the monastery – the interior practically free of the exterior – may in some cases become a trap, and a stage of transgression. Three sets of examples of monasteries are examined in order to support this claim. The first set is a series of films devoted to the person of St. Francis of Assisi and the history of the imprisonment of St. John of the Cross in a convent in Toledo. These men are connected by the fact, that both, though in different periods, initiated reforms in the Church or religious order, and by the fact, that for them the monastery become a negative point of reference. The second set comprises of films that introduce the microcosm of the Dominican monastery, and the theme of the holy inquisition, that exposes the combination of religious fanaticism and cruelty carried out in the name of the faith. In those films the monastic rooms are turned into torture chambers. The third example is the Benedictine Abbey – the ideal XIV century abbey (as portrayed in The Name of the Rose), a model of mediaeval universe, that reflects all the religious controversies of the era.
