Erection at the beginning of the 20th century. Of the Sacred Heart of Jesus was a significant event in the history of Strzemieszyce. In view of the development of the Dąbrowski Basin and the increase in the number of its inhabitants, efforts to build a sacred building began in 1887. In 1898, the necessary permission from the Russian partitioning authorities was obtained, which was issued in the capital city of St. Petersburg. In the years 1900-1903, thanks to the efforts of the priest of the Gołonóg parish, Fr. Tadeusz Konarski, a spacious chapel was built on land donated by Roman Mojcha. Soon, in the fall of 1903, its expansion began, and within a few years it was enlarged to the size of a church.
Characteristics of the church
The brick, three-nave, brick Church of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, completed in 1910, was erected in the neo-Gothic style according to the design of Józef Stefan Pomian-Pomianowski from Będzin. This former chapel is now the main nave of the church. On February 10, 1911, a separate parish was established in Dąbrowa Górnicza Strzemieszyce, which included the following settlements: Strzemieszyce Wielkie and Małe, Grabocin, Kazimierz, Feliks, Ostrowy and Niemne. Ambitious plans assumed the construction of three towers in the following years, which, however, was not implemented, mainly due to the impoverishment of the society related to the First World War. The following decades brought the refurbishment and beautification of the temple. In the 1970s, a 50-voice organ was installed. For some time, the local parish was one of the largest in Zagłębie, and with time new ones emerged from it. Since 2002, the Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in Strzemieszyce bears the dignity of a sanctuary, and since 2008 it has the title of a minor basilica. On October 16, 2005, a monument to Pope John Paul II was consecrated in the square in front of the temple.
