The Cathedral Church of St. Nicholas is the oldest church in Kalisz, built between 1253 and 1257, funded by Duke Bolesław the Pious and his wife, Blessed Jolanta. From 1358 to 1810, it belonged to the order of Lateran canons, brought to Kalisz by Casimir the Great from the Sieradz massacre. In 1448, they built a monastery next to the church, currently used as a parish house. The church and former monastery are Gothic, with later additions. Among the church's interesting furnishings, noteworthy are the polychrome and stained glass windows in the Chapel of Our Lady of Consolation, created by Włodzimierz Tetmajer in 1909.

The church was built in the years 1844-1846. It was founded by a noblewoman, Salomea née Obiezierska, and her grandson, Wojciech Lipski. In the years 1898-1900, the polychromes in the presbytery, stucco wall coverings and a marble tabernacle were made (destroyed by the Germans during World War II and later rebuilt). In 1950, the church received three bells, and in the years 1949-1953 new plasters and electricity. In 1960 and 1976, it was repainted, and a thorough restoration was carried out in the years 1991-1992.
