Saint Anthony of Padua church in Przemyśl, Baroque church at Jagiellońska Street, Przemyśl, Poland.
Description
Saint Anthony of Padua church is a structure with a neo-Renaissance red brick facade that contains Baroque and Rococo altars along with an 18th-century crucifix. The architectural elements and interior furnishings represent different periods and show how the building evolved over time.
History
Construction took place between 1641 and 1664, replacing a wooden predecessor destroyed during George I Rákóczi's military campaign in the region. This rebuilding phase marked the transition to a permanent stone religious structure after earlier destruction.
Culture
The church forms part of a Franciscan Reformist monastery and functions as a worship center for the local Roman Catholic community holding regular religious services.
Practical
The building is located on Jagiellońska Street in central Przemyśl and is accessible through its main entrance. The central location makes it easy to reach on foot from other sites in the city.
Did you know?
The structure once served as a barbican for the Lviv Gate and contains underground sections where the writer Andrzej Fredro is entombed. These dual functions as both a defensive work and burial place make it an unusual example of military and cultural importance.
