Convent Complex of Seraphic Sisters in Oświęcim
It is a small building erected in Neo-Gothic style, with unplastered brick with narrower and lower chancel closed by apse, nave. The interior of the church has a cross-ribbed vaulting. The Neo-Gothic main altar dates from the late nineteenth century, like the pulpit and pews. The side altars with pictures of St. Francis of Assisi and St. St. Anthony of Padua, a sculpture of the Pieta, the confessional and the chandelier come from the beginning of the twentieth century. During the Second World War the church was partially destroyed. After the war it was rebuilt and in 1947 the statue of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception has been set on the front of it.  The oldest building of the monastery in the neoclassical style is connected presently  with the church by ground floor lobby. The second building, adapted to its style, was built in the 50s of the XX century. Within the monastery there is also building  of "Caritas" built in the 1905-1910, and two kindergarten buildings from the 30s of the XX century. Buildings of the Seraphic Sisters Monastery are surrounded by orchard and garden from the east and west side. Part of the  tombstone of Mother Foundress - Mary Margaret Szewczyk is located in the interior of the church Our Lady of Sorrows.
