Other Comments: 

• We are most grateful to Dr. Joanna Szczesna of the Catholic University of Poland for the following comments:  

  • There are several Krzyzanowice villages throughout Poland.  Ours appears to be located in Swietokrzyskie wojewodztwo, in the region known as "Little Poland" 

  • The original buildings of this house - both church and cloister - were rebuilt, the church in classic style.  Only the church survives.
