A royal secretary Jakub Sosnowski donated the square while the politician Zygmunt Wybranowski offered some financial funds.

In 1646 a small wooden church was built with two chapels dedicated to the Virgin Mary and St. Anthony, and the first superior of the monastery was Father Vincent Skapita.

According to the first draft by Giovanni Battista Ceroni from 1679 to 1691 only the presbytery and the adjacent room were built - opposite the sacristy and chapel of Our Lady of Consolation.

Ceroni's project was slightly modified by Karol Bay, including the introduction of diagonal columns in the corners spanning the aisles.

From 1746 to 1749, the west chapel dedicated to the Holy Trinity was built (designed by Antonio Solari), and in 1788 Giuseppe Boretti reconstructed the facade.

From the beginning of the 19th century, the Monastery passed vicissitudes (among other things it housed a prison, an orphanage and also a Warsaw Clerical Academy).

In addition, there survived many elements of Baroque architecture, epitaphs, organs, side altars, confessionals and paintings from the 17th and 19th.

The choir has one of the best paintings of the Silesian painter Michael Willmann, transferred from the Lubiąż Abbey - Christ in Gethsemane (Chrystus w Ogrójcu - 1661).
