One room was intended for an auxiliary room for priests who celebrated Holy Masses in the chapel of the Albertine nuns, the other for a cell for brother Albert, that is, Adam Chmielowski, the founder of this convent. He stayed there when he came from Krakow. This cell is almost entirely occupied by a wooden, narrow bunk.
