Kościół Najświętszego Serca Jezusowego i Matki Boskiej Pocieszenia w Poznaniu, Catholic church on Szewska Street, Poznań, Poland

The Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and Our Lady of Consolation stands on Szewska Street in Poznań with a single nave, barrel vaults, and an extended presbytery. The building forms part of a larger monastery complex that includes Gothic cloisters from the 15th century preserved in the western and southern wings.

A duke founded this Dominican monastery in 1244, making it the oldest still-standing church on the left bank of the Warta River. The complex developed over centuries and maintained this important role in the city's history.

The church is named after the Sacred Heart of Jesus and Our Lady of Consolation, reflecting its spiritual importance to the faithful. Inside, visitors can see choir stalls decorated with paintings of two venerated Dominican saints.

The complex is accessible through the main entrance on Szewska Street, and visitors can explore the courtyard and preserved monastery wings. It helps to take time to observe the architectural details and the quiet cloister garden.

A bronze tombstone of Feliks Paniewski from 1488, made in the renowned Nuremberg workshop of the Vischer family, was returned to the church in 1990. This artwork reveals the craft quality and international connections that linked such religious centers across Europe.
