Saint Joseph church in Łódź

Saint Joseph Church features a single nave design with wooden walls constructed from larch, topped by a shingle roof and modest steeple.

The church, built between 1765 and 1768, was moved piece by piece to its current location in 1888 by local factory workers during an overnight operation.

The neo-Baroque main altar, funded by factory owner Israel Poznański, reflects the industrial and multicultural character of nineteenth-century Łódź.

The church maintains regular religious services and welcomes visitors to explore its wooden architecture, which stands as the oldest religious structure in Łódź.

Local factory workers transported the entire wooden structure from its original location at Kościelny Square to the former cemetery grounds on Ogrodowa Street.
