Church of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Church of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Gothic church in New Town, Warsaw, Poland.
The Church of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary is a Gothic building located in Warsaw's New Town district, recognizable by its tall arches and decorative brick facades. The structure features pointed arch windows, carved stone details, and colored stained glass that fills the interior with light.
Construction began in 1401 under the patronage of Janusz I of Mazovia, with the building officially documented in 1411. Over the centuries, it underwent several reconstructions and expansions that reflected changing architectural tastes and needs.
The church serves as the parish center for the local community and hosts regular Catholic masses and religious ceremonies. It remains an important gathering place that shapes the rhythm of daily life in the neighborhood.
The building stands at 2 Ulica Przyrynek at the corner of Ulica Kościelna in the city center and is easy to reach on foot. Be aware that access may be limited during religious services, so it helps to check typical worship times before visiting.
The building was shaped by multiple architects over time, including Giuseppe Boretti and Alfons Kropiwnicki, which blends different building styles into one structure. Walking around you can spot how various architectural periods are visible in the details if you look closely.
