Saint Anthony of Padua church in Poznań, Baroque church on Przemysł Hill, Poznań, Poland

The three-nave church features two side chapels, a central nave with barrel vaults, and detailed stucco decorations throughout the interior spaces.

Following a fire that destroyed the original wooden structure in 1656, construction of the current brick church began in 1674 and reached completion in 1757.

The interior walls display extensive polychrome paintings created between 1702 and 1735 by Franciscan friar Adam Swach, depicting religious scenes and saints.

The church stands west of the Old Market Square, accessible via a stone staircase built in 1875 to accommodate street level changes.

The Virgin Mary Chapel contains a mid-17th century painting known as 'Miraculous Holy Mother - Lady of Poznań' with documented spiritual significance.
