Basilica of Saint Andrew in Olkusz

The Basilica of Saint Andrew features three tall naves supported by octagonal pillars and crowned with detailed ribbed vaults spanning the entire interior space.

Construction of the church began in the 13th century, with significant expansions during King Casimir the Great's reign, including the addition of the presbytery section.

The church contains a late Gothic polyptych from the 15th century with 16 paintings depicting religious scenes, created by Krakow artists Jan Wielki and Stanisław Stary.

Located at Szpitalna 1 in Olkusz, the church maintains regular mass schedules and offers limited wheelchair access through designated entry points.

The Renaissance organs, built by Hans Hummel in 1611, retain their original mechanism and pipes, following a complete restoration between 2016 and 2019.
