In the 17th and the 18th century in Łowicz Armenians were mostly tradesmen, particularly associated with the St Mathhew fair (on 10th October). Two Armenian families decided to settle in Łowicz : the Augustynowicz family (originally from Lwów) and the Faruchowicz family (from Jazłowiec). Also, in 18th century four Roman Catholic priests of Armenian origin worked as canons at Łowicz collegiate chapter: Jan Nepomucen Awedyk, Mikołaj Jaśkiewicz, Franciszek Nikorowicz and Grzegorz Zachariasiewicz.
