Other Comments:  

• This house remained largely intact and used as a residence for the Sisters of St. Mary Magdalene and as an orphanage until 1945.  

• We are most grateful to Dr. Joanna Szczesna of the Catholic University of Lublin, Poland, for the following comments:  "In Czarnowasy the original buildings of this house - church as well as cloister - were entirely rebuilt in the Baroque style."
