Summary/Abstract: On December 12, 2017, a 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 irregular record, which was 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 based on the dramatic history of the Napoleonic era, using the chronicle of the last part of the document entitled: Our times are worthy memories which we want to pass on to the future.
