Church of the Name of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Inowrocław, so-called Ruin - the oldest church in Inowrocław and one of the oldest in Kujawy, reaching the end of the 12th century. It functions as a parish church, and since 2008 it has the title of a smaller basilica. The rise of the church dates to the end of the twelfth or the beginning of the thirteenth century. Significant, for a single-nave church, the width of the body allows one to suppose that the interior was originally planned to be divided into three naves, which, however, was not implemented.

In the fifteenth century, the presbytery was extended towards the east, and the semicircular apse was replaced by a polygon closure, fastened with buttresses. At the end of the 18th century, a partially collapsed south tower was rebuilt and the presbytery re-opened, closing it with a straight wall.

Destroyed in the fire of 1834, the church was in ruins. In the years 1901-1902 he underwent a reconstruction (on the initiative of Father Antoni Laubitz) according to the design of Juliusz Kothe, the conservator of monuments of the Poznań province. In addition to the removal of the effects of the fire, semicircular apse. Another restaurant, combined with further reromanization, the building underwent in the 1950s. In the current block of the church the most authentic parts are the basement of the southern tower and the northern wall of the nave. On 13 July 2008, the church was raised to the rank of a smaller basilica.
