Holy Trinity and Saint Florian church in Zawiercie Skarżyce, Religious monument in Zawiercie, Poland.
The Holy Trinity and Saint Florian church is a religious building constructed from Jurassic stone with early Baroque architecture. The interior features a prominent main altar displaying a Holy Trinity painting at its center.
The building was founded in 1583 by Mikolaj Brzeski on the remains of a medieval defensive tower. This foundation linked religious purposes with a site that had previously served protective functions for the area.
The church holds a 1604 replica of a revered painting originally housed in Rome. This religious artwork shapes the interior of the sanctuary and draws visitors who appreciate the artistic tradition.
The church is open to visitors and serves multiple surrounding communities with regular religious services and gatherings. Visitors should wear respectful clothing and check for active services to get the best experience.
The place name Skarżyce comes from the 13th century and is connected to a Dominican court that operated in a small castle or watchtower. Suspects were questioned there, and the site later gained religious importance with this church's construction.
