According to historian Paul Crossley who referenced chronicler Jan Długosz, the St. John parish church was a "royal foundation" that was created in 1360, around the time when King Casimir the Great expanded the entire town of Radom in the 14th century. [2] [3] The church has been heavily modified since that period. [3] The site was originally in close proximity to the market square and castle. [3] [4]
A Renaissance-style chapel was added in 1630. [5] The chapel features a polychromed vault and was endowed by the Kochanowski family.
In 2020, the parish received a grant of 100,000 zlotys for renovations from the Mazovian Voivodeship Conservator of Monuments. [5] That year, the church also announced plans to renovate the church square. [4]
