Summary/Abstract: The monastery complex of the Norbertine Sisters in Imbramowice remains a poorly explored structure, both architecturally and archaeologically. An opportunity to expand knowledge about the architectural changes of the church and monastery was the work related to the expansion of the nuns’ burial crypt. As a result, previously unknown remains of a 13th-century room were recorded, which was originally the ground floor of the tower (or towers) housing the gallery. Within the room, the remains of a 15th/16th century heating furnace were also uncovered, and the remains of early medieval and prehistoric settlements were recorded.
