St. Mary Church in Bolesławiec, Gothic basilica in Bolesławiec, Poland

The stone church features a three-nave layout with a 55-meter tower, showcasing Gothic architecture typical of the Lusatian-Saxon building style.

The original church from the 13th century faced destruction during Hussite raids in 1429, leading to reconstruction between 1432 and 1442.

The interior displays baroque altars, including the main altar depicting the Assumption of the Virgin Mary alongside numerous 16th and 17th-century epitaphs.

The church stands at the highest point of the Old Town center, making it a central landmark for navigation through the historic district.

The Mary Bell, weighing 1,002 kilograms, hangs in the tower and received the status of Minor Basilica in October 2012.
