Saint Hedwig church in Dębica, Gothic Catholic church in Dębica, Poland.
Saint Hedwig is a brick church in Dębica with Gothic origins and Baroque interior elements. The tower rises prominently above the surrounding buildings, and the space inside features late Baroque altars and decorative work.
The current church was built in 1560 after a devastating fire destroyed the original structure. Its consecration took place in 1650 during a period of Catholic expansion in the region.
The church is named after Saint Hedwig, a medieval patron saint venerated in this region. Inside, Renaissance epitaphs and artworks reflect the devotion of wealthy families who invested in this place.
The building is located near the center of Dębica and is easy to reach on foot. Services are held regularly throughout the week, and visitors can come by at most times.
The church bell in the tower dates to 1423 and predates the building by more than a century. This medieval bell was originally part of an earlier religious structure that once stood on this site.
