The monastery church dedicated to the Assumption of the Virgin Mary originally served only Cistercian monks who lived in the convent. The exact date of the beginning of the construction cannot be documented to this day, it is only certain that the eastern part of the church was consecrated in 1228. Archaeological research shows that about 240 stonemasons took part in its construction. The original length of the church with the vestibule was 100 meters.
