    This small church probably dates from the 14th century. The first written mention was in 1417. Originally it was an oriented Gothic style synagogue. It is said to be based on the "Staronová Synagogue" from Praga, built in 1270. The Oleśnica Jews probably came from Praga and inhabited Oleśnica as early as the 14th century. In 1329 Conrad I confirmed the right to bring them into his duchy. The kehilla had several families, but they were wealthy (which is why it was possible to build a synagogue) and very useful to the duchy. Presumably they had their own secluded part of town in the city by the walls, in which they built a synagogue (probably there was also a school there). It is not known when a separate Jewish gate was built into the city walls (it is in the same place as the gate to this day).
