Basilica of the Holy Sepulchre in Miechów, Gothic basilica in Miechów, Poland

The three-nave basilica features a tower crowned with a dome-shaped helmet adorned with a gilded double-armed cross of the Holy Sepulchre Order.

The original church burned down in 1379, leading to the construction of a Gothic structure between 1394 and 1410, with subsequent rebuilding in late Baroque style.

The church complex includes a replica of Christ's tomb, constructed around 1530 with dimensions matching the original Jerusalem sepulchre, making it a medieval pilgrimage site.

The basilica holds religious services seven times on Sundays and holidays, with additional masses three times daily on weekdays in the main church.

The crypts beneath the collegiate church contain burial chambers of monks, including Samuel Nakielski and Bishop Tomasz Nowiński, the last general provost of the congregation.
