Ostrzeszów is a county town situated ca. 160 km south-east of Poznań, by the road to Katowice.
This late-gothic parish church, founded by King Casimir the Great in mid-14th century, was initially composed of presbytery and a sacristry; a nave was added in 1360.
After the destruction by a fire of the late 15th century and by the Swedish invasion in mid-17th c., the church was rebuilt in 1721–1723. Gothic-style stained-glass windows were fixed in 1939.
The church’s altars are baroque in style – the main one containing a copy of The Assumption of Our Lady by the famous Spanish painter Murillo. The chancel arch features limewood sculptures, probably made by Albrecht Dürer.
