Saint Alexius church in Opole, Gothic chapel in Opole, Poland
The Saint Alexius church stands with its rectangular layout, featuring buttresses along its perimeter and a presbytery ending in three sides towards the east.
Founded in 1421 by Prince Bishop Jan Kropidło, the church was built alongside a hospital complex that received confirmation from Prince Władysław II of Opole.
The religious structure maintains its Gothic architectural elements while incorporating modifications from different periods, including Baroque alterations to the windows from 1691.
Located at the intersection of Katedralna and Szpitalna streets, the church preserves its original cross-rib vault structure and features a crypt beneath the main chapel.
The chapel formed part of a medieval hospital that accommodated eight patients initially, marking the connection between religious service and medical care in 15th century Poland.
