The Orthodox church was built in 1900–1902 in Wieluń, then part of the Kingdom of Poland within the Russian Empire, to replace the town's first church of St. Vladimir of 1852, which had become too small. After Russian troops left in 1914 the community shrank, though services were still held in the 1920s. In 1934 the building was bought by the Wieluń county assembly, which gave the Orthodox a town house on Krakowskie Przedmieście Street as a prayer house; the domes were removed during conversion, the Museum of the Wieluń Land opened here in 1935, and after the war a cultural centre moved in.
Православная церковь построена в 1900–1902 годах в Велюне, входившем тогда в Царство Польское в составе Российской империи, взамен первой городской церкви Святого Владимира 1852 года, ставшей тесной. После ухода российских войск в 1914 году община сократилась, но службы шли ещё в 1920-х годах. В 1934 году здание выкупил Велюньский сеймик, передав православным под молитвенный дом каменный дом на улице Краковское Предместье; при перестройке сняты купола, в 1935 году здесь открыт Музей Велюньской земли, а после войны разместился дом культуры.
