On November 15, 1290 Polish Duke Przemysł II granted Słupca town rights.

On November 11, 1314 King Władysław I the Elbow-high granted Slupca a privilege to establish a mint and produce coins.

In the 19th century, there was economic growth due to Słupca's location on the route to Berlin.

Inside there is a Renaissance altar with bas-relief ‘Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary’ and sculptures of Saint's Leonard and John the Baptist.

Today this is one of the most beautiful churches in Greater Poland and as such it is certainly worth visiting.

As of 2006[update] the grounds surrounding the church have been announced to become the park of John Paul II.

There are plans to plant a number of trees and make two sections for: practicing sports (northern part) and relaxation for those who prefer tranquillity (proximity of the church).

The synagogue was set on fire in July 1940 and the holy books of Torah were burned.
