    The first mention of a parish with a wooden church in Choroszcz comes from 22 October 1459.

    In 1756, Jan Klemens Branicki, the Grand Crown Hetman, Castellan of Kraków, at the request of the Dominicans built a brick monastery and a church consecrated in 1770. This temple was a single-nave building with a barrel vault, in the sacristy and western porch it had a cross vault, with a square tower at the front. The interior of the temple and the monastery refectory were richly decorated and maintained in the Rococo style[2].

    The church in Choroszcz is an impressive Baroque temple, whose history dates back to the 15th century. Its current appearance is the result of an 18th-century reconstruction, and the facade impresses with its rich decorations and sculptures. The interior of the church is equally impressive, with numerous monuments of sacral art. For road cyclists, Choroszcz lies on the route of many interesting trails, and the church itself can be an interesting stop during a trip. It is worth taking a moment to admire the architecture and history of this place.
