Adjacent to the nave from the south is the Baroque chapel of the Holy Cross from 1736, housing a miraculous crucifix from around the mid-17th century. Valuable elements of the interior have been preserved, including the late Gothic main altar from the first quarter of the 16th century and a stone baptismal font from 1522. The current church of St. John of Jerusalem Outside the Walls, rebuilt and expanded many times in later centuries, was built on the site of the church of St. Michael that existed earlier in this place. In 1187, Duke Mieszko the Old gave it, together with the hospice located next to it, to the Hospitallers. On their initiative, at the turn of the 12th and 13th centuries, construction began on a new brick church. In 1288, sources mention its new dedication of St. John for the first time, and it functioned together with the original one until the beginning of the second half of the 14th century. The exact date of the parish's establishment is unknown; the oldest information about it comes from 1348. At the same time, the chancel was covered with a vault. At the turn of the 15th and 16th centuries, the church underwent a significant reconstruction and expansion - the nave was vaulted, a sacristy, a side aisle and a tower were added to the north, and the elevations were reinforced with a buttress system. It was restored in the first half of the 18th century. At that time, a chapel was also added to the south.

In 1823, a general renovation of the neglected church was carried out, thus protecting it from previously planned demolition. In 1832, the property on the Commandery was taken over by the Prussian government. At the beginning of the 20th century, the plaster covering the church's façade was removed. In 1927, the chancel and the side nave were extended to include the existing sacristy, rebuilding its barrel vault into a star vault, and a new one was built on the eastern side. It was demolished during renovation and conservation work carried out in the years 1945-1948 after the war damage. A new sacristy was built on the site of the original one. At that time, the treasury, which had been added to the eastern side of the chapel of St. Cross, the plasters on the tower, the buttresses of the façade and the southern elevation were chipped off, the eastern gable was built as analogous to the western one, a stepped, plastered gable of the sacristy and a previously non-existent lantern crowning the dome of the chapel. The polychromes in the interior were made by Stanisław Teisseyre.
