The one-nave church on the corner of ul. św. Jana and ul. św. Tomasza dates back to the times of the period before the foundation privilege was granted to Krakow.
Reconstructed in the 17th century, it belongs to the Congregation of the Virgins of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary (Presentation Sisters). The founder was Blessed Zofia Czeska whose remains are buried in the interior of the church. In the main altar, there is the benevolent painting of the Virgin Mary with the Infant, crowned with the Papal insignia. The temple is called the sanctuary of Our Lady of Liberty or Our Lady of Ransom.
