Basilica in Katowice Panewniki
Basilica in Katowice Panewniki, Minor basilica in Ligota-Panewniki, Poland.
The Romanesque Revival basilica features a three-nave layout with gabled roofs, brick construction, and a Latin cross floor plan in Katowice.
The cornerstone was laid in 1906, and Franciscan architect Mansuetus Fromm completed the church construction by 1908 during Upper Silesia's religious expansion.
The basilica contains one of Poland's largest nativity scenes and incorporates artwork from regional artists like Eryk Złotoś and Otto Kowalewski.
Located at 76 Panewnicka Street, the wheelchair-accessible basilica welcomes visitors throughout the year and maintains regular religious services.
The church design differs from traditional Catholic orientation by not aligning toward the east, incorporating architectural influences from Rhineland and Westphalia.
