Historic Roman Catholic church of the Sisters of Gifts. According to tradition, the church was founded by Piotr Włostowic in the first half of the 12th century. It was mentioned in the city books for the first time in 1308, initially as a branch of St. Mary's Church. In 1325 he became a parish church. A thorough reconstruction took place in the mid-seventeenth century. It was consecrated again in 1659. In 1715, the church was donated by the bishop Kazimierz Łubieński to a collection of gift sisters. After the sisters moved to the church in 1715-1723, the architect Kacper Bażanka made its next reconstruction. On the facade of the church there is a picture of Our Lady of Grace from the nineteenth century. In 2015, during facade conservation works, it was repainted. There was a change in the color of the facade from white to intensely pink. This change refers to the baroque facade color. In the main altar from 1730 there is a painting of the Virgin Mary with the Child according to tradition brought from Spain by Prince Stanisław Radziwiłł. On the sides are statues of St. John the Baptist and Saint. John the Evangelist patrons of the church.
