This brick church situated by the Lviv route was erected in 1635-1649 on the site of a wooden church of St. Lawrence. It has typical features of the Lublin Renaissance – one nave, orientation and a narrower chancel terminated in a semicircular apse on the eastern side. The adjacent monastery of the Franciscan Order was built on oak piles at the end of the 17th c. After the Franciscans abandoned the building in 1817, it served as a storehouse and a military hospital.In the first half of the 19th c. the property was bought by Antoni Domański and used as a cloth factory, and later as a soap and candle factory. In 1927 the successive owner, Tadeusz Weisberg, a Jew who converted to Catholicism, donated the monastic buildings to the Salesian order. The present structure of the church is the result of restoration works done in the first half of the 20th c. which introduced the division of the building into three storeys.
