| description | The characteristics of the Camaldolese architecture, which emphasise the spirituality and tradition of the Camaldolese Order, can be seen in all hermitages built in the territory of Poland. Keeping a mostly uniform architectural style was possible not only owing to rigorous regulations but also to the lively tradition. Naturally, this does not mean that all Camaldolese hermitages are identical. They do possess characteristic features distinguishing, for example, individual churches, however, the tradition of erecting monasteries according to the “habit of Camaldolese fathers” survived in them throughout the centuries prod ucing an atmosphere of silence, peace and detachment from everything that is down-to-earth. This atmosphere of prayer and contemplation of God, achieved by this peculiar and nearly organic combination of a hermitage and nature, pervades today even these hermitages, in which the sound of monotonously recited psalms or the rustling of robes can no longer be heard. |
