The western facade of the church features twin copper-covered towers reaching 71 meters high and exhibits numerous stone decorations and sculptures.
Cistercian monks established the original church in 1292 under Duke Bolko I, while the current baroque structure was built between 1728 and 1735.
The church houses the oldest Marian painting in Poland, a 13th-century icon of the Madonna and Child, which attracts numerous religious pilgrims.
