Temple of Divine Providence, Roman Catholic church in Wilanów district, Warsaw, Poland.
The Temple of Divine Providence rises in the Wilanów district with a cubic base in white concrete and a dome reaching 75 meters (246 feet) high. The underground level holds the Pantheon of Great Poles along with chapels and exhibition rooms devoted to religious and historical themes.
The idea for the building began in 1791 after Poland adopted its first constitution, but wars, partitions and political shifts delayed construction for over two centuries. Work started in earnest in 1999 and ended in 2016 with the completion and consecration of the structure.
The building serves both as a place of worship and a national memorial where Poles honor figures who shaped their country. The underground level creates a quiet space with graves and commemorative markers for poets, presidents and church leaders.
Public transport connects the site with central Warsaw, making the journey straightforward for visitors. Entry to the Pantheon costs 2 euros for regular admission and 1.50 euros for students.
A walkway with stations presents Polish historical moments through a religious lens in chronological order, forming an educational path for visitors. The presentation blends faith and national memory in a form that stands between museum and pilgrimage route.
