Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary in Oświęcim

The three-nave church features a rectangular chancel, a western tower, and intricate stucco decorations adorning the ceiling and pillars throughout the interior space.

The current church structure replaced a wooden building from the twelfth century that was destroyed during a Tartar invasion, with the latest major renovation completed in 1881.

The main altar displays life-size sculptures of Saint Peter and Saint Paul, along with three post-Dominican images from the eighteenth century depicting religious figures.

Located in central Oświęcim at coordinates 50.0394 latitude and 19.2214 longitude, the church maintains regular services and welcomes visitors throughout the week.

The church contains a marble baptistery with a metal lid from 1613 and multiple marble epitaphs, including one dedicated to Father Jerome Russocki from 1681.
