He is considered the founder of the Church of the Holy Cross in Strzelno. The settlement appeared here after the arrival of the nuns in the eighties of the twelfth century. The monastery church was originally called the Church of the Holy Trinity, but in later years the name was changed to the Holy Trinity and the Blessed Virgin Mary.

In the early twentieth century Strzelno was quite successful economically city. In 1901 there was open the gas plant, who worked for 60 years. In the same period, the city has built a large number of residential buildings and urban infrastructure: there was a regional hospital and a library.
