The Franciscan Monastery in Wieluń was founded in 1629 and constructed between 1629-1634, later expanded to its current size between 1737-1754. The monastery served as a refuge for Irish monks fleeing religious persecution from 1645-1653, housed a higher seminary from 1662-1800, and was dissolved by tsarist decree in 1864 due to monks' involvement in the January Uprising before being restored to the Franciscan order in 1921.

The baroque church features unique polychromy that underwent major renovation after World War II and houses paintings by 19th-century Franciscan painter Father Rafał Ernest Credo.
