Saints Roch and John the Baptist church in Brochów

Saints Roch and John the Baptist church in Brochów, Renaissance church in Brochów, Poland

The church structure features three cylindrical towers, with two positioned at the western corners and one above the chancel's apse.

Built between 1551 and 1561 under architect Jan Baptysta Wenecjanin, the church underwent reconstruction after damages during World War I and II.

The church hosted the wedding of Frederic Chopin's parents in 1806, and the composer himself received baptism here in April 1810.

The church complex sits near the Bzura River, enclosed by tall defensive walls with apertures and pentagonal bastions for protection.

Black zendrówka bricks create diamond patterns on external walls, while arrowslits above pillars demonstrate the building's defensive capabilities.
