Jesuits were brought to Putusk by Andrzej Noskowski, Bishop of Pock, at the end of 1565. In a document signed on 1 January 1566, the Bishop granted the order two brick buildings: a school erected in 1555 and a college raised in 1560. He also began building a second (wooden) school on adjoining lots, purchased from the burghers, and in 1567 -a church, completed in 1583-1585. The shape of those buildings, located between the town wall and a street some 25 meters away, is know from a description contained in a letter by rector S. Rozdražewski (26 September 1568), a plan executed by Stanisaw Zawadzki, architect of the Commission of National Education (1779), and archeological research conducted in 1978-1982. The college comprised a quadrilateral with an inner courtyard and a wooden porch instead of corridors. Originally, it was composed only of a ground floor and first floor; a second storey was added in 1583. The single-nave church, whose western wall touched the town wall, had four arches on the outside and inside of the oblong walls, and was covered with a flat wooden vault. Soon the buildings proved to be too cramped, but the Jesuits did not expand them in the hope of erecting new ones nearby. With this purpose in mind, they bought the lots of houses burnt down in the great town fire of 1645. Owing to wartime hostilities, work on the church was not initiated until 1688. The building was consecrated in 1718, and completed in 1764. The erection of a new college was not commenced before the cassation of the order in 1773, when the Jesuit buildings were taken over by the Commision of National Education. In 1781, they were entrusted to the Benedictine monks, who in 1803-1825, in the wake of the fire of 1798, built a new college in accordance with a project sent from Berlin by the Prussian constructor Adler. Due to fact that the Jesuits did not have an architect of their own the author of the first church was probably Giovanni Baptista of Venice, an architect in the service of the bishop. The desinger of the second church remains unknown.
