Saint Florian church in Żnin

The Saint Florian Church features cylindrical staircase turrets, buttressed walls, and brick structures composed in a Gothic bond pattern throughout its exterior.

The original Romanesque church from the 11th century was demolished in the early 14th century, with select elements incorporated into the new Gothic structure.

The church contains late Gothic sculptures depicting the Crucifixion, along with altarpieces that combine both Baroque and Classicist artistic styles.

The church maintains its role as an active religious center, with regular services held in its three-nave hall structure facing east.

During the Swedish invasion, the building served as a stable, and subsequent fires in 1692 led to the collapse of its Gothic vaulted ceiling.
