PIARIST CONVENT (KLÁŠTOR PIARISTOV)

Built between 1642 and 1648 according to the plans of the Austrian manufacturer Pochsberger. This baroque ensemble, consisting of 4 towers with the church and its two 44-metre high bell towers in the middle, dominates the city in its Rococo style. The church is dedicated to St. Stanislaus, a martyr saint from Krakow, and the 10-metre high carved wooden altarpiece traces his life. The convent is located northeast of the city walls erected in the 14th century, behind the northern entrance gate.
