Church of Christ the Redeemer in Ostrołęka, Catholic parish church in Ostrołęka, Poland
The Church of Christ the Redeemer is a Catholic parish church with brick construction and traditional ecclesiastical design located near the center of Ostrołęka. The building features solid, straightforward architecture characteristic of religious structures in this region.
The church was built between 1666 and 1696 as part of a Bernardine monastery complex, initiated by Tomasz Gocłowski with approval from Bishop Jan Gembicki and King Jan Kazimierz. This complex arose during a period of religious renewal in eastern Poland.
The church serves as a place for worship in the Roman Catholic tradition and functions as a gathering space where villagers come together for religious celebrations and community events throughout the year. These meetings have shaped how the village remains connected and united across generations.
The building is easy to spot from outside and sits in a central area of the village. Those looking for information about services and events can contact the parish office directly or check notices posted in and around the church itself.
The building was used as a defensive position during the Battle of Ostrołęka in 1831, when local forces resisted Russian troops during the November Uprising. This military past is no longer visible, but it marks an important moment in the place's history.
