The conventuals (black friars) settled in Poznań in the 17th c. The church was commissioned from Jan Koński and built atop Castle Hill (presently Przemysł Hill) in the years 1674-1757. The monastery was erected in the years 1672-1749 east of the church but it was partly dismantled after the suppression of the order in 1834; only the north part survived to the present day. http://www.poznan.pl/mim/turystyka/en/church-of-st-anthony-of-padua,poi,2471/church-of-st-anthony-of-padua,39371.html
