Collegiate church in Tum
Collegiate church in Tum, Romanesque church in Tum, Poland
Description
The Collegiate Church in Tum is a Romanesque place of worship in Łódź Voivodeship and was built from granite blocks with thick walls, rounded arches, and two towers. These elements shape the silhouette of the building in the central Polish landscape.
History
The place of worship was constructed during the 12th century on the site of an earlier Benedictine abbey and later hosted provincial synods. Attacks by Tatars, Lithuanians, and Teutonic Knights marked the eventful history of the building.
Culture
The northern portal displays sculptures from the Romanesque period, while the western apse contains a medieval wall painting showing Christ alongside tetramorph symbols.
Practical
The building stands roughly 2.5 kilometers from the center of Łęczyca and has a parking area for visitors who wish to explore its architectural and historical features. The walls and arches are well accessible, allowing you to observe the granite structure up close.
Did you know?
The walls display alleged claw marks from the legendary devil Boruta of Łęczyca, who according to local stories attempted to topple the tower. These scratches in the stone can still be seen on the exterior today.
