The Cistercian Monastery Complex in Henryków is a post-Cistercian Baroque monastery complex containing the Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary and St. John the Baptist located in Henryków, Poland.
It is one of the most magnificent and beautiful Baroque buildings in Silesia, the place where the Book of Henryków was written – a landmark of Polish writing. Nowadays, the monastery of Henryków functions as the prior of the abbey of Szczyrzyc. Currently, the monastery buildings house, among others, Annus Propedeuticus – a branch of the Metropolitan Theological Seminary in Wrocław (until 2018) – and the Blessed Edmund Bojanowski Catholic High School.
