The form of the frieze testifies to the particularly close ties that linked the Cistercians of Kolbac with their confreres in the Brandenburg March. Similar panes of arcaded friezes adorned the western facades of the Cistercian churches in Chorin and Lehnin. They were the product of a Premonstratensian workshop operating on the territory of the Wkrzanska March (identically shaped ceramic elements adorned a number of unpreserved Premonstratensian buildings in Brandenburg).
