The post-Cistercian church of St. Florian in Koprzywnica, original name from the time of the church's consecration: St. Florian and the Blessed Virgin Mary - a Roman Catholic temple built together with the monastery buildings of the Cistercian abbey. The monastery was founded by the Sandomierz voivode Mikolaj Bogoria from Skotniki, who brought the Cistercians in 1183 from Morimond. The buildings were built in the Romanesque style between 1207 and 1220. Over the centuries the church was repaired and renovated, which makes the interior dominated by the Baroque. In 1819 the Tsarist authorities dissolved the monastery. By a decision of the Sandomierz bishop in 1821 a parish was established there.
