Our Lady of Sorrows church in Przemyśl, Kloster in Polen
Our Lady of Sorrows Church is a Greek Catholic place of worship in Przemyśl characterized by Byzantine architectural elements including balanced arches, domes, and traditional religious motifs throughout. The building combines these structural features with interior spaces designed for Eastern Christian prayer and ceremony.
The church was built in 1936 as a Greek Catholic sanctuary and represented a new spiritual center for the Eastern Christian community in the city. Following World War II in 1945, the building experienced closure and underwent significant changes as the region transformed during that period.
The church preserves Byzantine Rite traditions through its daily liturgy and serves as a living center for the Eastern Christian community to express their faith and heritage. Icons and religious imagery throughout the interior reflect centuries of spiritual practice passed down through generations.
The church is accessible daily during prayer times, with services open to visitors who wish to observe or participate respectfully. Modest dress is recommended when visiting, and the location in the city center makes it easy to reach.
The building received official recognition as a Polish cultural heritage site in 1983 under register number A-777, acknowledging its historical and architectural importance. This designation protects it as a monument for future generations to visit and study.
