Exploring a Huge Abandoned Prison in 360° (Cell found intact)

The Dominicans came to Łęczyca in the seventies of the 13th century. Originally, they lived in wooden buildings. It was not until 1341 when a brick St Dominic's church and a two-story monastery were constructed as adjoining the defensive walls of the town. Not much information about its functioning survived. At the turn of the 17th and 18th centuries, the complex was enlarged by adding new wings. In 1799 the Prussian authorities dissolved the monastery and two years later the building was converted into a prison and the church was demolished. In the second half of the 19th century, a story was added and the building was much enlarged. In subsequent years the area of the former monastery was adapted several times to the requirements of a top-security prison. The Łęczyca prison has been recently moved to a modern building in nearby Garbalin, which was opened in 2007. Łęczyca is a town of 14,362 inhabitants in central Poland. Situated in the Łódź Voivodeship, it is the county seat of the Łęczyca County. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
