Collegiate church in Tum, Romanesque church in Tum, Poland

Built from granite blocks, the Collegiate Church features thick walls, rounded arches, and two towers rising against the landscape of central Poland.

Constructed in the 12th century on the site of a former Benedictine abbey, the church hosted provincial synods and endured attacks from Tatars, Lithuanians, and Teutonic Knights.

The northern portal displays remarkable Romanesque sculptures, while the western apse contains a medieval wall painting of Christ with tetramorph symbols.

The church stands 2.5 kilometers from Łęczyca center, with a dedicated parking area for visitors exploring its architectural and historical elements.

The church walls display alleged claw marks from the legendary Boruta devil of Łęczyca who, according to local tales, attempted to topple the tower.
