Saint Lawrence church in Bytom, Wooden church in Bytom, Poland

The Saint Lawrence Church featured a rectangular layout measuring 11 by 10 meters, constructed with larch wood and crowned by a two-sided roof.

The church was originally built in 1530 in Mikulczyce, then reconstructed in 1580 under the patronage of Daniel Ziemęcki Sr before relocation to Bytom in 1902.

The interior contained Renaissance polychrome decorations from the 17th century, along with altars displaying religious figures and paintings of Saint Lawrence and the Virgin Mary.

The church remained unused after World War II despite renovations, and a fire in 1982 destroyed seventy percent of its structure.

The remaining thirty percent of the church materials were transported to the Vistula Ethnographic Park in Wygielzow for use in repairs of other structures.
