Short description

The Brotherhood of St. Benno began building the church in 1646. It was consecrated as early as 1649.

Since 1787, the church is closely associated with the pastoral care of the Redemptorists. St. Clement in particular stands out. In Poland, the Redemptorists are therefore also called Bennonites.

During the war, it was first looted, later blown up. In 1958, the church was rededicated by Cardinal Stefan Wyszynski. The Redemptorists still look after the house of prayer today.

The Brennobruderschaft was founded in Munich on 31 May 1603 to support impoverished citizens and craftsmen.
