In a nearby Lubiaz, situated on the right coast of Odra River, among forests and meadows on the small hill, there is a Cistercian monastic complex from 12th century, one of the most precious and biggest baroque monastic foundation in Central Europe. Representational, east façade of the abbot’s palace and monastery is almost 250 m long. The capacity of the whole encompasses over 330 000 m3. Among over 300 magnificent interiors, the most palatial are: library, summer refectory, Abbot’s Dining Room and the Prince’s Hall which currently is the place of the prestigious music concerts. Until this day, over 30 concerts with participation of the Walbrzyska and Wroclawska Philharmonic Orchestras and also the choir Guardian from Wroclawski Univerity have taken place there. There are plans to create a conference and hotel complex in a post-monastic foundation. In a second half of the 17th century, Lubiaski monastery was one of the most precious artistic and intellectual centers of Silesia. The ceiling of the Abbot’s Dining Room is decorated with frescoes by Michael Leopold William, the artist from the turn of 17th and 18th century who gained the popularity as the greatest painter of Silesia. In the fall of 1706, he was buried in the abbot’s crypt against monastic rules as the exceptional privilege since he was neither a monastery’s dignitary nor a monk. The Prine’s Hall is decorated with the cycle of 10 paintings and the plafond by Krystian Filip Bentum. His frescoes also decorate the monastic library, the biggest and the most palatial baroque library interior in Silesia.

The creator of the complex of 18 individual and group over natural statues and 10 busts filling the interior of the Prince’s Hall is Franciszek Jozef Mangdolt. He is also an author of the sculptures in Leopoldin’s Auditorium of Wroclawski University. Naciej Knote who made the Mother of God’s statue standing in front of the monastic building, and Maciej Steinl who collaborated with Michael Williams while creating the project of the sculptor’s decoration in the monastic church, run their sculptor’s workshops here. On the small moraine hill, about 2 km from monastic hill, there is a church of St. Valentine consecrated in 1749. Its simple silhouette with a high, massive tower is visible from a long distance and represents the second, next to the monastery, dominant architectural characteristics of Lubiaski scenery. While being in Lubiaz, it is also worth to see a wayside shrine of St. Jan Napomucen built in 1727.
