The Church of St. Lawrence in Słupca is a Gothic temple built on the foundation of Andrzej Bniński, bishop of Poznań, in the mid-15th century. According to sources, the church already existed around 1296, the period of the city's foundation. Its probable founder was Jan Gerbicz, bishop of Poznań. The first parish priest was Walter (1296), and then Gerlib (1306). The original structure was made of wood. In 1331, the church was burned down during a Teutonic invasion. However, this did not affect its functioning – as early as 1340, another parish priest, Piotr, appears. In the second half of the 14th century, the parish had about 3460 faithful. In the mid-15th century, it was decided to rebuild the church. Its founder was Andrzej Bniński, bishop of Poznań. It was subsequently rebuilt many times (2nd half of the 18th century, 19th century). The regothicization of the church took place between 1949 and 1958 under the direction of architect Aleksander Holas. In 1998, the oldest clock mechanism in Poland was found in this church.
