Resumen

The article describes the echoes of events from the outside world in an enclosed Norbertine convent in Imbramowice and is mainly based on records taken from The Chronicle of Sophia Grothówna from the years 1703-1741. Although the Norbertine monastery was (and still is) enclosed, it maintained communications with the outside world on a regular basis but unwillingly. This article discusses just such situations. Sisters had to contend with numerous military invasions, requesting ever larger contributions and looting the surroundings belonging to the nuns’ granges. During the wars of the seventeenth century a number of plague broke out, which reached the surrounding areas in Imbarmowice. The peasants contracted the plague from the army. In other events, there were the outbreak of fires, the largest broke out in 1704, and many sisters had to leave the monastery and move to other monasteries or return to their homes. The reconstruction of the monastery took almost 20 years. The article describes information about the floods, strong winds, hunger, cold and drought that ravaged the monastery and caused major damage in convent farms.
