The church was built around 1480. In 1754, during the great city fire, the church was severely damaged. The Gothic vaults collapsed. Reconstruction began in 1755. The outer walls of the nave remained from the old church, but the rest, along with the furnishings, dates from this reconstruction period.

The railway station in Piła, one of the largest in the Wielkopolska province. It is a junction station; five railway lines cross here. The first railway connection from Krzyż Wielkopolski and Berlin, extended towards Bydgoszcz, was received by Piła in 1851. Two years later, construction of the railway station began, which was put into service in 1876 and later rebuilt many times. Subsequent connections were opened: in 1871 to Złotów, in 1879 to Poznań and Szczecinek, and in 1881 to Wałcz.
