The beginnings of the cult of Virgin Mary in Dąbrówka Kościelna date back to Polish-Swedish Wars when the figure of the Virgin Mary was placed on an oak tree on the Road leading to Gniezno.
From information passed from mouth to mouth we know that the figure gleamed in blue. The local population was drawn to the oak tree in order to see the mysterious glowing figure. In the 17th century, the pilgrim movement to Gniezno begun.
The construction of the present Church begun before World War II and ended in the 1950s. There are no pieces of historical value in the sanctuary. The miraculous figure of the Virgin Mary, the one that was hung on the oak tree, had not remained. It was a copy of the Black Madonna of Częstochowa but without scars on her cheek and with a calmer look on her face. The current painting is a post-World War II painted made by Leonard Torwirt in 1956 on an oak board. The painting was placed on the main altar in a natural surrounding among carved oak leaves and twilling branches, according to tradition.
