Maximilian Kolbe church in Lubin, Catholic church in Lubin, Poland
Maximilian Kolbe church is a Catholic house of worship in Lubin featuring a two-level design with the main chapel positioned on the upper floor. The lower level contains parish rooms and supporting spaces for community activities and religious services.
Construction started in 1982, with the Pope blessing the foundation stone just a year later. The building was fully consecrated in 1999, completing a significant chapter in the community's spiritual development.
A monumental sculpture of Jesus on the cross dominates the space above the altar, accompanied by statues of Saint Mary and Maximilian Kolbe. This arrangement reflects how the local community honors this particular saint in their faith.
The church is open throughout the week with regular services held at various times. Visitors should be aware of the two-level layout when exploring, as this affects how the spaces connect and flow.
The bell tower rises about 34 meters (112 feet) high and holds three large bronze bells, each with its own distinct name. These bells were named to reflect figures and values important to the church and its community.
