History

St. Ursula's Church was built in the first half of the 13th century on the decision by the Archbishops of Gniezno. It was one of the first brick churches in Poland. First thorough reconstruction happened in 1458 on the initiative of heir Stroński. In 1600 Teresa Walewska, of the Łaszczowscy Family, founded a wooden chapel. Next extension was founded by Kazimierz Walawski in 1726. Then the nave was added to the presbytery and later a masonry sacristy, a chapel and a parvis were added as well. In the 20th century a chapel and a tower were added to the new nave.
