Franciscan Monastery in Panewniki
Franciscan Monastery in Panewniki, Franciscan monastery in Ligota-Panewniki, Katowice, Poland
The monastery features a basilica church with two prominent towers, ribbed groin vaults, and a three-nave layout following Romanesque Revival architecture principles.
The monastery construction began in 1905 under the supervision of architect Mansuetus Fromm, with completion and consecration occurring in July 1908.
The monastery contains a substantial nativity scene and includes the Panewniki Calvary along with a meticulously crafted replica of the Lourdes grotto.
Located at 76 Panewnicka Street, the monastery functions as both a religious center and educational institution, housing the Higher Seminary.
The church design differs from traditional Catholic architecture as it does not face east and incorporates architectural elements from Germany's Rhineland region.
