In the spring of 1945, it rejoined Poland. - The "Rotunda of St. Prokop" was probably completed mid 13th century, like the neighboring church of the Premonstratensian nuns. There are three "addons": a square chancel on the eastern side, two small apses to the west, and a tall tower. with a prominent escarpment on the west side and a gallery on the first floor. During the reconstruction at the end of the 15th century, the upper part of the tower was demolished and bricked again in brick. Later, the rotunda was incorporated into the buildings of the convent as a monastery gate. In 1779 the rotunda was re-consecrated and dedicated to St. Procopius. In 1812 the church was profaned by Napoleon's soldiers and used for economic purposes. The rotunda got renovated and reconstructed in the 1890s and again in the 1920s. During WW II, the rotunda was turned into a warehouse. In 1945, the Germans planted explosives in the rotunda. The explosion and fire destroyed the upper parts of the tower and all interior fittings, while the walls survived. Conservation works were carried out in the years 1948–1952, restoring the original Romanesque character of the church. In the tympanum, there are three figures. In the center the enthroned Christ, on the left the young founder, offering the model of the rotunda to Christ, and on the right a female figure, perhaps the superior of the monastery, with an open book. The original tympanum was destroyed in 1945. Thanks to a plaster cast, which was in the Krakow National Museum, the restoration of the Romanesque tympanum was possible.

It is a three-nave basilica with a transept, a large choir loft and an apse. On the eastern side, the church was originally equipped with two round towers. The central nave is covered by a star vault, while the side aisles are covered by ribbed vaults. In the 18th century the church was rebuilt. It was given a new facade and baroque furnishings. The original appearance was thus rendered unrecognizable. It was even forgotten. During the renovation of the church in 1946, six Romanesque columns were freed from a thick layer of plaster. Two of the column shafts are richly decorated with figural bas-reliefs. Their origin is dated to the second half of the 12th century or the beginning of the 13th century. Six out of seven columns have been stripped of the Baroque plaster so far. From the side you can see the Romanesque apse, the Gothic façade of the transept and the Baroque turret of the main façade.
