    Post-Bernardine church with a monastery, built on a hill in the 17th century. In July 1629, a congress of Wieluń nobility approved the establishment of a monastery with the church of St. Michael the Archangel for the Bernardine Order. Initially, in 1638, a wooden church and monastery were built on the site of the current brick church. During the Swedish invasion in 1656, the monastery buildings were burned down; before that, the church was robbed. In the years 1680–1740, the current temple was built, and it was consecrated by Bishop Sommerfeld in 1741. The building in the Baroque style was built of plastered brick. The belfry from 1810 was demolished in 1946. The presbytery has an area of 8 × 7 m, and is 11 m high, while the nave is 8 × 16 m and 13 m high. Inside, the walls bear the coats of arms of the families that founded the monastery and the church: Psarski, Leszczyński, Siewierski, Krakowski, Karśnicki and Wężyk, sculptures commemorating Rafał and Jan Leszczyński, and a late Baroque polychrome made in 1740 by Antoni Ignacy Linki (the inscription above the choir). Next to the church is the chapel of St. Thaddeus Jude with an 18th-century painting of the patron saint in a Baroque altar. Currently, the monastery is occupied by the Sisters of the Holy Family of Nazareth.
