The Church of Our Lord Jesus under the invocation of the Sacred Blood of Lord Jesus

The creation of this church is linked to the legend about the three Sacred Hosts miracle. Apparently, a profanation of the Host took place in 1399 in the cellar of a tenement house that used to stand here. In the first half of the 17th century, the Calced Carmelites got interested in the building. They managed to buy it around 1660 and at the beginning of the 18th century they built here a small Baroque church, making use of some of the old house's Gothic walls. Today it is the rectorial church in the parish church district.
Today the church facade reveals fragments of the Gothic walls. Over the Baroque portal there is a Gothic statue of Madonna with the Infant from around 1500, transferred here around 1900 from a small townhouse in the Old Market Square. The single nave interior has uniform late Baroque style and includes three altars, a pulpit and 17th and 18th century paintings. On the south wall there is an early 16th century sculpture titled Mourning Christ. It was brought here from the former collegiate of St Mary Magdalene. The ceiling polychromy, featuring the scenes of the three Sacred Hosts miracle, was made in 1735 by Adam Swach. The underground chapel was reformed in 1914 according to a project by Marian Andrzejewski.
