Abstract
In 1839 the Prussian authorities ordered the Benedictine nuns to leave the territory of the monastery in Grudziądz, in order to found the teachers’ school and professional school. Few year earlier, in 1833, the military authorities took over the church of the Holy Spirit to create a garrison church there. The acquisition of the monastery complex associated with the redevelopment of all buildings, adjusting them to new functions. The construction works in 1836–1839 were assigned to G. Müller, an architect, while the former church of the Holy Spirit to a lieutenant Siehr. In the collection of Geheimes Staatsarchiv Preußischer Kulturbesitz in Berlin there are eight plans of the former monastery complex of Benedictine nuns and adjoining church, due to which we can reproduce the scope of the construction works. Within the most important tasks concerning the adaptation of buildings there was the conversion of monastic cells into bedrooms with social facilities for seminary students and teachers. Moreover, the utility buildings of the complex (a brewery and stable) were also rebuilt, which resulted in demolition of the tower that had been situated in the southern part of the defensive walls. The passages linking the monastery and church were liquidated, and in the latter the matroneum was built. The plans presented in the article are a valuable source of knowledge of the spatial layout of the monastery and the changes associated with establishment of the teachers’ school, especially considering the fact that in 1945 the buildings were heavily damaged. When the complex was rebuilt in the ‚50s of the 20th century, it was devoid of its historical features since it was supposed to function as a Museum.
