Franciscan Monastery and Holy Cross Church

Former Franciscan complex south of the centre, with a Holy Cross church and late-Baroque interior details.

The Franciscan Monastery and Holy Cross Church sit a short walk south of Szamotuły's main sights. The complex grew from the old Franciscan presence in town and has the quieter feel of a local religious site rather than a museum piece.

It is worth adding if you are already seeing the castle and collegiate church. The appeal is in the accumulated layers: monastic buildings, a reopened parish church, and interior details that speak to Szamotuły's older role in Greater Poland.
