the arcade is part of the former cloister in front of the Abbot's House, built during the second, early Gothic phase of construction in the early 14th century. It was reconstructed between 1984 and 1989 on the basis of relics found as a result of archaeological and architectural research between 1978 and 1983.

Description
The arcade was the closure of the northern arm of the cloister, the so-called small claustrum. On the western side, it has the form of a pointed portal with triple-arched reveals in the form of shafts. The arch with a significantly raised arrow, enclosing the arcade is characterised by its lancet-shaped strongly pointed shape. On the east side, the same pointed opening is located in a niche closed with a gabled arch.
