Cathedral Basilica of the Holy Family, Częstochowa, Gothic Revival cathedral in Częstochowa, Poland
The Cathedral Basilica of the Holy Family rises 80 meters with two towers topped by 30-meter steel spires and a north-facing facade overlooking Pope John Paul II Square.
Construction began in 1901 following designs by Konstanty Wojciechowski, and in 1925 the church received cathedral status through Pope Pius XI's bull Vixdum Poloniae Unitas.
The cathedral houses 101-rank pipe organs installed between 1946 and 1949, with the largest pipes reaching eight meters in length for exceptional musical performances.
The cathedral stands between Ogrodowa, Katedralna, Krakowska, and Mielczarskiego streets, offering guided tours of its interior with stained glass windows and architectural details.
Under the Chapel of Our Lady of Częstochowa lies a crypt containing the remains of prominent local clergy members who served the diocese.
