In 1616 Stanisław Lubomirski founded the town Wiśnicz as a private town, a centre of vast latifundium in Cracow region. In 1620 he provided the funds to build a new stone-wall parish church which was consecrated in 1647. In the great fire of the town in 1863 the wooden buildings of the market square and the town hall burnt down. The church, its belfry, rafter framing and parish archives also suffered from the fire. The prosbytery of the church is semicircural, with adjacent vestibule, vestry and a small treasury. The nave is wider than the presbytery, rectangular and elongated of mannerist proportions with later addition on the east. Outside the nave there are buttresses in the form of giant volutes. Two-storey western elevation of the church is divided in its lower part into three fields of different widths by pilasters. In the middle field there is a portal with the coat-of arms of Szreniawa in the pediment broken along the axis. The Palladian openings and conch nieches are placed regularly. The upper storey, narrower, finished with a plattened arc is framed by a small volutes. Low pinnacles finish the part of the façade. The baroque forms in the façade are placed in a mannerist manner. The façade is divided by a huge mould separating the colossal pilasters from the gable divided in a different rhythm. The pilasters of the upper storey and towers are off the axes of the lower storey pilasters. The flat and linear architecture is supported by huge, almost bulging base. The barrel vault is emphasized by conspicuous entablature, and the interior is homogeneous in character. The elegant composition with few sculptural elements reminds one of the Carmelite church interior. In the façade the elegant forms are combined with sculpturally exaggerated ornamentations and the outline of framing is mannerist. Andrea Spezza, of Italian origin, probably architect of parish church in Wiśnicz, executed the baroque architecture in a very individual way but with strong mannerist impressions. The eastern frontage together with the parish church are a basic elements of the architectural complex of the former Carmelite monastery and castle, which dominate in the Wiśnicz skyline. Therefore its arrangement must be regulated, and the view of the parish church façade exposed.
