The earliest records of the church date back to the 14th century. The present building, built in the 16th century in Gothic architectural style, was a monastery for penitent women. It was completely destroyed during the war and had to wait until 1973 to be rebuilt. In 1980, striking workers took refuge in the church, which was used as a backdrop for demonstrations broadcast by TV stations around the world, and became one of the centers of the Solidarność trade union. It can be visited subject to payment of an entrance fee of 5 zł.

Autel d'ambre

L'élément central de l'autel est l'image de la Mère de Dieu - le Protecteur des Travailleurs, peinte par le Père. Franciszek Znaniecki après le massacre de décembre 1970.
Madonna et le Bébé ont reçu de nouvelles couronnes d'ambre, consacrées par le Pape le 6 juillet 2001, et une merveilleuse robe profondément sculptée faite d'une variété unique d'ambre blanc. Des deux côtés de la peinture, les patrons de l'Europe sont placés: Saint. Brigid suédois et Saint. Elisabeth Hesselblad.
Sous la voûte, un aigle blanc ambré, symbole de notre pays et de notre nation, prends son vol.
