Church of the Holiest Saviour, Neo-Renaissance church at Savior Square, Warsaw, Poland
The Church of the Holiest Saviour is a three-nave basilica with a transept and a dome at the crossing point. Twin towers ornament the front facade, decorated with columns and sculptural details.
Construction started in 1901 and was completed in 1927, interrupted by World War I. Archbishop Stanisław Gall consecrated the finished structure.
The church serves as a spiritual center for students of Warsaw University of Technology, who gather there as part of their academic community life. The space has become a place where young people find belonging and share their faith experiences together.
The church opens early in the morning and stays open until evening, with several daily services. Visitors should expect active worship times and be respectful during these periods.
During World War II, residents protected the church from complete destruction when German forces systematically demolished Warsaw buildings following the 1944 Uprising. It became one of the few structures in its area to survive the destruction.
