Kościół Najświętszej Marii Panny Wspomożycielki Wiernych w Poznaniu
Kościół Najświętszej Marii Panny Wspomożycielki Wiernych w Poznaniu, Gothic church in Old Town, Poznań, Poland
Description
Kościół Najświętszej Marii Panny Wspomożycielki Wiernych is a church in Poznań's Old Town designed with Gothic elements, including a distinctive eastern gable and ribbed vaulting above the presbytery. The facade displays neo-Baroque features that were incorporated during a major restoration in the 20th century.
History
The building was founded around 1282 as part of a Dominican convent and underwent several transformations over the following centuries. A fire in 1536 caused significant damage, but a restoration by the Salesians in 1926 brought the church to its current appearance.
Culture
The church displays portraits of the Poznań Five, members of a local youth group from Wroniecka Street who died during World War II and were beatified in 1999. This history remains part of the space today, connecting the building to the community that worships there.
Practical
The building sits at the intersection of Masztalarska and Wroniecka streets in the city center. It remains open for worship throughout the week and has served as a Lenten station church since 2017 with regular religious services.
Did you know?
The complex preserves a western wing and tower from the original 13th-century city defensive walls, which have been incorporated into the modern structure. These medieval elements remain visible and reflect how the site has evolved since the earliest days of the city.
