Cloisters of the Benedictine abbey in Tyniec. In 1943 remains of a 11th century building were found in the north wing of the cloisters. They consist of a 4-metres high stone wall and an old sandstone portal. The latter bears some vertical marks believed to be made with swords of knights that gathered here for Holy Masses.

An excerpt from Wikipedia: "The Cross of Sacrifice or War Cross was designed by Sir Reginald Blomfield for the Commonwealth War Graves Commission and is the focal point of the numerous Commonwealth war cemeteries throughout the world. It is a 4 point limestone Latin cross. On the face of the cross is a bronze sword, blade down. It is usually mounted on an octagonal base. The Cross represents the faith of the majority of the dead and the sword represents the military character of the cemetery".
