Niedoszła fundacja klasztoru franciszkanów reformatów w Oleśnie
The unrealized foundation of the Franciscans-Reformers monasteryin Olesno

Summary/Abstract: In 1655 the monastery on St. Anna Mountain, founded by Count Melchior Ferdynand Gaszyna, was taken over by Franciscans–Reformers from Gliwice (the Polish province). In 1662 the Count was also prepared to found the monastery in Olesno and he addressed the administrators of Czech province with a request that the Reformers take over the monastery. The condition was posed that the monastery should be always governed by the priests who speak both German and Polish languages so that Mass could also be said for the Polish congregation. The reply of the provincial has not been known, the monastery has never been founded.
