Abstract

On December 12, 2017, the cross with a ball was removed from the tower of the parish church of St. Martin in Stanica – the last temple built by the Cistercians Abbey in Rudy before its suppression in 1810. In the time capsule there was an occasional record, made on September 20, 1802. The author uses the discovered document and available studies about the abbey in Rudy to discuss the situation of the abbey at the beginning of the turbulent nineteenth century, as well as to characterize the personal condition of the convent. Next, the author describes the main stages of the construction of the church of St. Martin in Stanica on the basis of the dramatic history of the Napoleonic turmoil, using the chronicle of the last part of the document entitled: Our times worthy memories which we want to pass on to the future.

Keywords:
