The old monastery in Wodzisław Śląski (now houses the District Court) stands next to the church. Today, it is used by the Evangelical parish. However, these are the traces of the activity of the Franciscan Minorities. They were brought to Wodzisław in 1257, i.e. during the foundation of the town. Because its exact date of the foundation is not known, it is traditionally linked to the year 1257, which is the beginning of their activities in Wodzisław.
