    The construction of the church along with the Norbertine monastery began at the end of the twelfth century, the first mention of it comes from 1193. The founder of the church was the castellan of Kruszwica, Piotr Wszeborowic, immortalized by the inscription on the tympanum, and his sons Kalkon and Krystyn, and possibly the daughter-in-law of Zmysława. In 1216 a solemn consecration of the temple took place. At that time, the chancel and transept were completed, and work on the nave was to end around the mid-13th century. At the end of the 15th century the chapel was rebuilt at the south of the chancel and the ceilings were replaced by the stellar vaults. Another remodeling of the 18th century unfortunately made the church facade, the southern chapels and the interior of the temple baroque. At that time romanesque columns between the aisles were walled up, and remained hidden until 1946.Read more
