The former parish church of St. Michael the Archangel was Wieluń's oldest parish church, built in the late 13th or early 14th century with the first mention dating to 1308. The church was elevated to collegiate status in 1419 and received a second dedication to the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary. After suffering damage during the 1939 Luftwaffe bombing, German occupation authorities decided to completely demolish the historic building by blowing it up in 1940, replacing it with wooden barracks.
