The town of Jasminow (The City of Jasmine), where the film takes place, is comprised of three cities in southwest Poland, Opole voivodeship: firstly, Niemodlin (most of the shots of the monastery and its interiors), Glogowek (the story of hairdresser and cinema) and Biala (beautiful, spring panorama of fields, when the main character is approaching the city).
Shots of the monastery were shot at the castle in Niemodlin, Poland. The paintings prepared for the film are still preserved on its walls (though they were not intended to last even several seasons). The shots of the prior's office were made in the castle's northwest wing (the cloister's corridors were divided by temporary wooden walls), the conservation workshop was a ballroom in the south-west wing. The monastery kitchen is real castle kitchen, located on the ground floor level, in the southeastern corner of the castle. The chapel in the northeast wing is the monastery chapel. Animal sheds were built between the bridge leading to the castle gate and the Coach House building in the southern corner of the quadrangle of farm buildings.
The painted decorations made for the film in Niemodlin castle can be still seen there, 13 years after the film was made. The decorations around the doors to rooms of the holy monks, associated with their names, should have been washed off after two years, but the paint was much more durable.
