Twenty-three villages in the vicinity of Mogilno were involved in economic and social life of the monastery. Construction of the church and monastery buildings began immediately after the arrival of the monks. The hill on which the monastery was built, was surrounded by a stone wall. In the fifteenth century the monastery was rebuilt in the Gothic style.
