Cistercian Abbey in Rudy
Highlight • Religious Site
The Cistercian Abbey in Rudy (German: Zisterzienserkloster Groß Rauden) - a Romanesque-Gothic abbey in Rudy in the Racibórz district, in the Silesian Province. Today, the abbey, owned by the Diocese of Gliwice, functions as a Cistercian Monastery and Palace Complex, combining the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Humble and the Formation and Educational Center of the Gliwice Diocese. The facility is located on the Cistercian Trail.
Plans to establish a monastery in these areas appeared as early as 1238. Originally, the monastery was to be located in Woszczyce, but after the visit to these areas, the location was abandoned. This fact could also have been influenced by the Mongol invasion of 1241. In the middle of the century, the idea was returned to include it in the process of civilization development in Silesia. One of its animators was the Prince of Opole, Władysław, who granted city rights to a number of towns (including Gliwice and Bytom) and was the founder of several monasteries. Around 1253 he brought the Cistercians from Jędrzejów to Ruda (the exact date of the foundation is unknown, and the first document comes from 1258) and gave them seven nearby villages. The boundaries of the monastic estates were defined by the principle of a distance of three miles from: Gliwice, Racibórz and Koźle.
