- Abstract
The Pauline Order came to Topolno in 1685 by invitation of Adam Zygmunt Konarski and his brother Andrzej Konarski. In the years 1772-1783, Prussians took over the village of Cieleszynek. As in the whole of Poland, the monastery estates exercised corvée with animals and on foot. The following crops were grown on the monastery farms: rye, wheat, oats, barley, peas and green buckwheat. The crops were used for sowing, consumption in the monastery and at the farm. Livestock farming was complementary, its main purpose was to provide oxen and horses for work. There were mills, breweries and distilleries processing farm products. The revenues were dominated by competencies paid for lands confiscated by the Prussian state. Among the expenses, the following were dominant: costs of construction, renovation and artistic works. In 1810, the Prussian king dissolved the monastery, but the Pauline monks worked in the parish until 1818.
