Tips

The church is built in Gothic and Romanesque styles, with Baroque interiors. The church's floor plan is unusual. The stepped tower indicates the varying heights of the scaffolding. Tours are only possible by appointment with the priest, although I don't know if they accommodate individual visitors; we were a group of 20. In any case, the priest had a very entertaining story to tell, including in German. He regrets that he so rarely has the opportunity to speak German.

The church contains a chapel with the Holy Stairs. The Holy Stairs were modeled on the Lateran in Rome. In Poland, only Kraków still has a Holy Stairs. The stairs were created on the initiative of Countess Józefa von Wurtz und Burg, whose tomb is located beneath the stairs.
