Church of St. Thomas in Sosnowiec, Gothic Revival church building in Sosnowiec, Poland.
The Church of St. Thomas is a brick structure built in Gothic Revival style with a three-nave basilica plan. Two openwork towers were added between 2004 and 2007, creating a modern addition to the original historic fabric.
Construction started in 1904 under architect Józef Stefan Pomian-Pomianowski and finished in 1911 during the city's industrial expansion. The project reflected Sosnowiec's rapid growth as a major industrial center during that period.
The interior blends neo-Gothic design with Art Deco details, particularly visible where the main altar meets the crossing of nave and transept. This mix shows how artistic tastes evolved during the building's construction and creation, with both periods expressed in a single sacred space.
The church is located on Orla Street in the Pogoń district and holds regular services for the community. Visitors interested in religious architecture can visit during appropriate times and explore the interior.
The building received protection as an immovable monument in 2007 and was registered in Poland's cultural heritage record. This official recognition ensures the historic structure is preserved for future generations.
