Benedictines are thought to have arrived in the [[Kingdom of Poland (1025-1031)|Kingdom of Poland]] in the 11th-century. One of the earliest foundations is [[Tyniec|Tyniec Abbey]] on a promontory by the [[Vistula]] river. The Tyniec monks led the translation of the Bible into Polish vernacular. Other surviving Benedictine houses can be found in [[Stary Kraków|Stary Kraków Village]], [[Biskupów]], [[Lubiń, Kościan County|Lubiń]]. Older foundations are in  [[Benedictine Monastery, Mogilno|Mogilno]], [[Trzemeszno]], [[Łęczyca]], [[Łysa Góra]] and in [[Opactwo]], among others. In the [[Middle Ages]] the city of [[Płock]], also on the Vistula, had a successful monastery, which played a significant role in the local economy. In the 18th-century benedictine convents were opened for women, notably in Warsaw's New Town.{{Citation needed|date=June 2024}}
