Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the history of the last monks from the Sieciechów Benedictine monastery after its dissolution in 1819. The basic source material for this research included personal files of the monks and secular clergy, the records concerning the work and death of the priests held in the Diocesan Archive in Sandomierz. The reconstruction of the history of the last Benedictines from Sieciechów shows that following the suppression of the monastery, most of them conducted pastoral work in the parishes situated in a few dioceses which existed at the time. The last monks died as administrators of the church in Łysa Góra. The following article constitutes a starting point for further research on the history of the Benedictines from Sieciechów as well as all monks in the period of the 19th-century dissolution of monasteries.
