In 1621, Wojciech Niemira brought the Benedictine nuns from Toruń to the temple of All Saints, existing since 1560. The building was built in the years 1734–1738. Its founder was Wiktoryn Kuczyński. The Benedictine nuns taught girls from the nobility. Despite the limitations, the Benedictine nuns from Drohiczyn continued their educational activities until the dissolution of the congregation in 1865. At the end of the 19th century, the monastery and the church were seriously devastated. At that time, the owner of the neighboring village of Korczew, Krystyna Ostrowska, began to try to rebuild the church and monastery of the Benedictine Sisters. In 1919, the Committee for the Reconstruction of the Church and Monastery of the Benedictine Sisters was established. Thanks to his activities, also in the interwar period, the vaults were renovated, windows were fitted and floors were installed. At that time, the temple served as a school church. The building has a rococo façade

The nuns educated the girls and cared for the sick. In 1854, the monastery was closed by the tsarist government, but soon the nuns returned. They were expelled for helping the January insurgents, and the church and monastery were closed again in 1864. In the years 1864-1885 the monastery belonged to Orthodox nuns, after this period it served as a prison, and then it was demolished.

In 1957, the Benedictine nuns returned from Nieświęt and started the renovation of the church and the reconstruction of the monastery (1958-1960, 1992)
