Saint George's Church in Cieszyn, Gothic church in Cieszyn, Poland

Saint George's Church features brick construction with a single nave, three-sided presbytery, and cross-ribbed vault displaying traditional Gothic architectural elements.

The church emerged between 1327 and 1404 during Duke Kazimierz I of Cieszyn's reign, initially serving as a chapel for a local asylum and hospital.

The church preserves a seventeenth-century epitaph of Anna Heinel, wife of a Cieszyn chalcographer, founded by Galen Heinel with initials G.H.A.H.

Religious services take place three times every Sunday and during holy days of obligation at 7:35 AM, 10:05 AM, and 11:30 AM.

The church underwent significant restoration in 1950-1953 after German troops damaged its stained glass windows, roof, and vault during World War II.
