In the Bieniszew Forest, near the Camaldolese hermitage, there is a spring of St. Barnabas. This place is associated with the cult of the Five Martyr Brothers, who came to Poland - the country of Duke Bolesław the Brave - to convert the pagans. Among the martyr brothers were two Benedictines - Jan and Benedykt, and three Slavs: Mateusz, Izaak, and their servant, Krystyn. Barnabas probably accompanied them, who, according to existing sources, was the only one to survive the night of November 10/11, 1003. Barnabas lived right by the spring, whose waters had miraculous healing powers. They cured eye diseases. The chapel built over the spring was dismantled in 1932 on the orders of the then owner of Kazimierz, Stanisław Mańkowski.

"At the turn of the 16th / 17th century, there were 7 Camaldolese orders in Poland. However, only 2 of them survived the turmoil of history. The hermitage in Bieniszew is therefore a real unique place. Situated on the top of" Sowia Góra ", surrounded by forests of Kazimierz, it is a place of reflection and prayer for the sins of the world .
