Polish Catholic church of the Saint Casimir in Poznań, Baroque church in Poznań, Poland
Saint Casimir Church is a Baroque building made of red brick in Poznań, featuring symmetrical facades and arched windows typical of its architectural period. The interior contains multiple altars and an organ whose style blends late Baroque and Rococo forms, showing the artistic choices of those who created it.
Construction began in 1688 under architect Tylman van Gameren and was completed in 1692. The new building replaced an earlier chapel and became an important religious structure in the expanding city.
The church served as a spiritual center for the local Polish Catholic community over many centuries. Today, visitors can see how the decoration and furnishings reflect the faith and artistic tastes of generations who gathered here.
The church is open to visitors during set hours and remains an active place of worship. It is helpful to check when services are scheduled so you can visit without interrupting the congregation.
The underground crypt beneath this structure provided shelter for civilians during times of conflict. Today this hidden chamber stands as a quiet reminder of the difficult periods the city has experienced.
