The former Premonstratensian convent complex in Strzelno, in the past one of the largest in the Greater Poland- Kujawy region, was subject to structural transformations in the course of several centuries. The existence of the Romanesque convent, probably created at the time of the foundation of two churches (the rotunda and the monastic basilica) is testified not only by the in situ extant Romanesque portal adjoining the n orthern basilica, but also by the newly discovered (today: walled up) passage in the northern arm of the transept of the church of the Holy Trinity. In the wake of the fires and cataclysms which affected the Strzelno churches at the end of the thirteenth century and during the fourteenth century, the object was given a purely defensive character. The greatest construction intervention, apart from the re designing of the basilica in the Gothic style, was the granting of a Baroque form to the rotunda of St. Prokop (Holy Cross), excluded from religious cult at the end o f the eighteenth century. Repair conducted upon the initiative of the Prussian government did not prevent devastation and, consequently, the pulling down of the Gothic-Baroque object in 1813— 1898. The historical qualities of the Strzelno churches were discovered during the in te r-w a r period, and work on the restoration of the Romanesqu character of the rotunda was completed in 1948-1952, albeit it was conducted not totally in accordance with the principles of conservation.
