The Collegiate Church of Saint Michael is part of a religious complex that has been active in education since the 12th century. Between 1611 and 1773, the Jesuit order ran the school of the monastery. In 1764, the Jesuits began to rebuild the destroyed church of St. Michael. After the dissolution of the order in 1773, the school was taken over by the State Commission for National Education. The present Malachowski Gymnasium is considered to be the oldest grammar school in Poland.

Among its treasures is a fine altar piece by Van Dyck, as well as some very interesting modern stained glass windows by Michel Martens.

During the construction of the dam in 1961, the destruction of the chapel was planned, but, ironically, its altitude is slightly higher than the height of the lake.
