Saint Wenceslaus church in Radom, Gothic parish church in Radom, Poland.
Saint Wenceslaus Church is a single-nave brick structure with Renaissance ornaments on the main nave's western wall located in Radom's old town center. The building displays red brick walls typical of the Gothic style in this region.
The building began as a wooden structure in the 13th century and was later rebuilt in brick. Over many centuries, it served different purposes before returning to religious use following major restoration work in the 1980s.
The stained glass windows inside show important figures from Polish history, filling the space with colored light during the day. These images connect the nation's past to the religious life that continues here today.
The church is located in the heart of Radom's old town and easily reached on foot from nearby areas. It is open to visitors and offers a quiet place to explore during regular hours.
For nearly two centuries, the building served no religious purpose, functioning instead as a storehouse, prison, and hospital. It later housed a psychiatric ward and a branch of an archaeology museum before returning to worship.
