St. Joseph's Church, Podgórze, Gothic Revival church in Podgorze, Poland

The church features a three-nave layout with a transept, ambulatory around the presbytery, and side chapels adjacent to both the naves and ambulatory.

The current structure, designed by architect Jan Sas Zubrzycki, replaced an older church from 1832 and was constructed between 1905 and 1909.

The interior design follows the Vistula Gothic cathedral style, incorporating numerous wooden altars and furnishings characteristic of southern Polish religious architecture.

The church maintains regular mass schedules with services at 7:30, 9:00, 10:30, 12:00, 18:30, and 20:00 on Sundays and religious holidays.

During construction, workers discovered a cave containing traces of alchemical experiments allegedly connected to Master Twardowski, the court alchemist of King Sigismund Augustus.
