For centuries, the most important place in every city has been the market square. Usually, when locating new cities, new streets were designed with reference to the market axis. The most important facilities for the residents were also located here, such as the seat of the municipal authorities and the municipal well. Similarly, in Skarszewy, for centuries the market square was the central square where fairs, games, protests and executions took place. Tenement houses of the city's richest inhabitants were also built around the market square and the best shops were opened.

The parish was established in 1250. In that year, the Bishop of Kujawy, Michał Gadziemba, bought the town from Sambor II. With the establishment of the parish, the first wooden church was built. The second one, also made of wood, was consecrated in 1590. In 1892-1894, a new church was built, made of red brick, in the neo-Gothic style. The builder was priest. parish priest Jan Wierciński. The previous one, made of wood, was demolished. When World War II broke out, Fr. parish priest Józef Sobisz, along with most of the inhabitants of Wysino, was displaced, and the church building was turned into a transit camp for deported Poles. During the occupation, the church was not open for religious worship. After the war, the first services were held in the cemetery mortuary. All parish buildings, including the church, were dilapidated and neglected.
