Saint Catherine church in Nawra, Catholic parish church in Nawra, Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland

Saint Catherine Church in Nawra is a Gothic parish church built of field stone, later rebuilt and extended after 1661 through the efforts of Jan Kruszyński, with a Baroque tower topped by a helm roof. Inside, the Rococo main altar holds a painting of the Virgin and Child brought from Russian captivity in the mid-17th century by Bernard Kruszyński.

The Gothic church was built in the 14th century from field stone. After damage during the Swedish wars it was rebuilt and remodelled after 1661 through the efforts of Jan Kruszyński, and a Baroque tower with a helm roof was added in the following years. Originally dedicated to St Matthew, it took St Catherine of Alexandria as patron during the Swedish wars, and was thoroughly restored in 1778–86 thanks to Konstanty Kruszyński.

The church was originally dedicated to Saint Matthew; during the Swedish wars, Saint Catherine of Alexandria became its patron. The Rococo high altar holds a painting of the Virgin and Child brought from Russian captivity in the mid-17th century by Bernard Kruszyński, during the reign of King John II Casimir.

The church stands in Nawra, in the Unisław deanery of the Toruń diocese, and serves as the parish church, so visits should be planned around parish services. The Gothic stone walls, the baroque tower with its helm roof and the 1815 Kruszyński epitaph inside are the elements to look for.

The 1815 epitaph of the Kruszyński family inside the church commemorates the patrons who rebuilt it after the Swedish wars. The main altar holds a Rococo image of the Virgin and Child that Bernard Kruszyński brought back from Russian captivity under King John II Casimir in the mid-17th century.
