Saint Andrew Bobola Church in Rawicz, Classicist church in Rawicz, Poland.
Saint Andrew Bobola Church is a classicist brick building defined by its rectangular footprint with a prominent tower on the north side. The tower features a cylindrical upper section topped with a copper cupola, and the interior holds a historical baptismal font and an organ with numerous stops for playing hymns and music.
The building was erected in 1808 following destruction from fires in 1707 and 1801. The original structure dated to 1639 when it was founded as an evangelical church before suffering repeated fire damage over the following centuries.
The church is named after a Polish saint whose veneration remains part of the local community's religious life. Visitors can observe this connection reflected in the artwork and furnishings throughout the interior.
The church is located south of Poznan along the route toward Wroclaw and maintains regular visiting hours. Those interested in exploring the classicist architecture and interior should verify current access conditions before traveling.
The tower contains three bells named Andrzej, Maryja, and Maksymilian that create a distinctive sound when rung together. These named bells form part of the building's historical character and can be seen from outside, topped by a copper orb and a tall cross.
