The history of Sienna dates back to at least the 14th century. Approx. The first wooden church was built in 1375, and Sienno belonged to the Chotcze parish. In the years 1431-1441, on the site of the burned church, a brick one in the neo-Gothic style was built, founded by Dobiesław Oleśnicki, and consecrated by Bishop Zbigniew Oleśnicki, establishing the Siena parish. This church was partially destroyed during World War I and then rebuilt. It is a wonderful example of neo-Gothic sacred architecture.
