Biskupów is a village located in the Nysa district, in the Głuchołazy municipality. The town is located in the Paczków Foothills, and the Mora river flows through it. For the first time, the village – as Bissopeswalde (Bishop's Forest) – appears in sources from 1231 in the context of belonging to the bishops of Wrocław. Among the monuments of the village, the parish church of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary from the first half of the 14th century, located on an elevation, deserves distinction. Originally it had Gothic features, and in 1770 it was rebuilt in the Baroque style. The interior houses a Baroque main altar and two Rococo side altars from around 1787, as well as a sculpture of the Madonna from the early 15th century and the tombstone plaque of Krzysztof Hirscberger from 1567. In the church attic, fragments of late Gothic polychrome are preserved. In Biskupów there is also one of the three Benedictine monasteries in Poland. It was built in 1912 by the Sister Servants of the Blessed Virgin Mary of the Immaculate Conception.
