Saint Lazarus church in Wrocław

The brick church features a two-aisle nave measuring 12.7 meters in length and 7.85 meters in width, complemented by a straight eastern wall.

The Order of Saint Lazarus of Jerusalem constructed this church in the latter half of the 14th century along the route from medieval Wrocław to Oława.

The church incorporated a leprosarium mentioned in records from 1260, which later expanded its services to treat patients beyond those affected by leprosy.

The building underwent extensive restoration work following the 1997 flood, with continuous maintenance efforts ensuring its preservation for current visitors.

During the 1474 military conflict between Polish-Czech and Hungarian forces, the church served as a fortified command post against King Matthias Corvinus's army.
