Church of the Assumption of Mary in Gliwice

The Church of the Assumption of Mary is a wooden building in Starokozielski Park featuring Gothic and Baroque design elements. Its structure demonstrates traditional Polish wooden construction techniques with careful handcrafted details throughout.

The building was originally constructed in 1493 in Zebowice and was one of the few wooden churches from that era in the region. It was carefully dismantled and moved to its present location in Gliwice in 1925, where it has remained since.

The wooden structure shows traditional Upper Silesian building methods and reveals how communities built their churches without modern tools. Walking through it today, you can see the craftsmanship and local construction practices that shaped this region.

The building sits within an accessible park area in central Gliwice and is easily reached on foot from nearby streets. Visitors should be prepared for natural ground paths and wooded surroundings, which can be muddy during wet weather.

The structure is a stop along a regional trail focused on historic wooden buildings, connecting several sites across Silesia. This route draws visitors who want to explore the traditional architecture of the area more deeply.
