Holy Heart of Jesus Church in Żary, Brick Gothic church in Żary, Poland.

The Holy Heart of Jesus Church features red brick walls with rhythmically placed buttresses, three central portals, and a three-sided chancel ending in the east.

The church's construction began in the 13th century by Ulrych von Dewin, with Gothic expansions occurring throughout the 14th and 15th centuries.

The building changed ownership from Catholic to Protestant in 1528, and after World War II returned to Catholic use with a dedication to the Sacred Heart.

The structure maintains its medieval layout with the oldest sections being the tower base and chancel, which date back to the early 14th century.

Following the collapse of the eastern wall in 1559, reconstruction efforts lasted until 1581 under the guidance of master builders Kasper Müller and Stefan Spinetto.
