Summary/Abstract: In 1710 Jan Domaszewski, in his village Domaszewice, founded a wooden church. In the years 1721–1722, Franciszek and Zofia Nowosielski erected and endowed a wooden monastery for the Dominicans. Since then, the part of the village belonging to the Dominicans, has been called Zofibór. Even if the friars are no longer present in that property, one can find their remembrance in the Baroque images of St. Dominik and Vincent Ferrer, the painting of the Virgin Mary in the type of Eleusa made by Stanisław Szczerbic (1628) and a the painting of the patron saint of the sanctuary St. Sophia.
