One of the oldest churches in Busko-Zdrój. A wooden structure on a foundation, built in 1699. There are also many historic tombstones in the cemetery. You can only visit at certain times. The interiors are stunning: you don't have to be religious to appreciate the power of history.

Canon Jan Długosz built a house (next to the collegiate church) for canons and vicars "pietate et compassione religiosa motus"... (guided by piety and religious inspiration) on the site of two houses standing next to the church, which he purchased from Jan Ranogut and the Bernardine sisters (filias Bednarcze ). Długosz founded a house for 12 vicars, which had a library, 3 halls, 6 rooms, a kitchen, a bathhouse, a well and comfort. The building had a heating system, from which vertical channels in the walls have been preserved. The house was covered with tiles, which saved it from the fire that broke out on August 19. 1471 he destroyed the city during the night. There was a garden adjacent to the house in question. In exchange for funding the house, the vicars were obliged to celebrate a certain number of Holy Masses. for the soul of the founder. Under the house there are 6 basements where the inhabitants of Wiślica hid during the invasions and bombings.
