Abstract

After the Thirty Years' War, monastic complexes were of increasing importance in Silesian towns. Those belonging to the former congregations were reconstructed and monasteries of congregations established in modern times were built. The buildings of Jesuits stood out above all. Capuchin monasteries were distinguished in a completely different way. Only two of them have survived to the present day, but the basic information about the others can be found. The consistent way of establishing convents and the characteristic features of the architecture - repetitive layouts with strongly uniform dimensions and forms - are evident. Distinct modesty, expressed by the schematic facade of the church, was a message of Capuchin spirituality and principles.
