Virgin Mary Queen of Poland church in Tarnów

The brick church features high vaults, Gothic portals on the northern and southern sides, and multiple chapels connected to the main structure.

The church's foundation dates to 1330, following the establishment of Tarnów, with initial construction efforts led by Spycimir Leliwita, the castellan of Kraków.

The dedication to Mary as Queen of Poland reflects the strong connection between Catholic faith and Polish national identity through centuries of history.

The church maintains regular mass schedules and welcomes visitors to explore its architectural elements, including the late Gothic vaults and Baroque modifications.

Multiple fires in 1483 and 1494 led to significant reconstruction efforts that merged Gothic architecture with later architectural styles in the building.
