Abstract

The Discalced Camaldolese arrived in Poznań in 1618. In a garden purchased from Elżbieta Michanówna they built the original wooden monastery dedicated to St Joseph. In 1635–1687, on the land of the manor bequeathed by Barbara Orzelska, the Camaldolese built a stone monastery and St Joseph's Church. Among the architects and builders of St Joseph's Church were: Giovanni Catenaci, Krzysztof Bonadura the Older and Krzysztof Bonadura the Younger. After the Second World War, the Discalced Camaldolese regained their property in a state of ruin. It took many years to reconstruct and renovate the heritage site. The present furnishings of the Church were made in the years 1985–1990.
