Saint George church in Gniezno, Medieval church in Gniezno, Poland
Saint George Church presents a baroque architectural design with a marble plaque in the chancel and fragments of Romanesque walls on its north and south sides.
The church site began as a pagan temple dedicated to the Slavic god Niya before Duke Mieszko I constructed a castle with a chapel after his baptism in 966.
The church maintains strong connections with Polish scouting, as it served as a religious center for Greater Poland Scouts following a ceremony in August 1937.
The church building stands on Lech Hill, featuring a renovated interior with a new floor and remains open for religious services and historical visits.
Archaeological excavations revealed a stone mound beneath the church structure, confirming the location's transformation from pagan worship site to Christian sanctuary.
