From 1996, you can visit the impressive Prince's Hall with an area of ​​over 400 m² and a height of 13.4 m. The hall, which occupies two floors of the building, includes, among others, sculptures of the Wroclaw master Józef Mangoldt as well as plafond and wall paintings of the painter Christian Bentum. This room is considered one of the most outstanding monuments of Silesian Baroque. Selected concerts of the annual International Wratislavia Cantans Festival take place there. The renovation was also completed and the abbot's refectory and summer refectory were made available to visitors (2005). At present (September 2009), conservation works are underway on the last great representative hall of the palace - the abbot's library. The former church of the Virgin Mary was also made available (unfortunately, with poor equipment). The entire facility can be visited on the second weekend of May each year during the Museum Night.
