The Reformists (a section of the Franciscan order) were brought to Lublin by Marianna Bogucka and Helena Sapieżyna, who donated a property in Żmigród to the monastery. Between 1663–1674, the church and monastery were built there together with a beautiful garden, financed by Mikołaj Bieganowski. At the dawn of the 19th century the monastery was handed over to the Order of St. John of God and the Reformists were scattered over other cities (among others, Chełm, Sandomierz and Kazimierz Dolny). The group who moved to Kazimierz took all the movable assets of the church with them. In 1838, the Order of St. John of God also left the monastery. The building was then administered and used by the military and the poor citizens of Lublin, while the garden was made available for public use (which resulted in its decay). In 1844, the post-Reformists buildings were bought by the industrialist Karol Rudolf Vetter, who rebuilt them and turned into a brewery. It remained in the hands of the Vetter family until 1927, the next owner was Tadeusz Karszo-Siedecki. After World War II the brewery was taken over by the State Treasury and became part of the Lublin Brewing and Malting Plant, from which the "Perła" – Lublin Brewery evolved.
