Tips

  • Church of Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Oświęcim - the church located north of the old town square on the east-west axis. It is visible at the entrance to the bridge from the west.
    Mentioned in the years 1325-1327. As brick also for Jan Długosz. The date when the church was built is not known exactly. It was rebuilt many times, and before 1530, little is known about its architectural structure. Rebuilt in the third quarter of the 17th century. Restoration after a fire in 1863. Square tower finally built in 1863-77, earlier the lower part from the end of the 16th century. Oriented, brick, rectangular two-span chancel, sacristy to the south. From the north, the chapel of the crucified Christ. The presbytery is connected with the body by a rainbow with a semicircular arch. A three-nave, hall, two-span body with a choir. The nave is open to the aisles on each side with two rectangular pillar arcades with pilaster decorations. Chancel vaults and barrel naves with lunettes on the arch. Music choir on three arcades across the width of the body, the choir sill is arched in the center. The choir sill and the vaults are decorated with geometric figures made of stucco moldings. In the presbytery windows and side aisles, there are colorful stained-glass windows. From the north, the small chapel of St. Maximilian Maria Kolbe. From the west, on the axis, a high clock tower with a porch. Decorated with a quadruple motif in the upper storey. Outside the church, on the corners of the presbytery there are buttresses, also a buttressed tower. A bell on the roof of the body.
