Corpus Christi church in Hel

Corpus Christi church in Hel, Brick church in Hel, Poland.

Corpus Christi Church is a brick church on Żeromskiego Street in Hel, designed by Stefan Cybichowski of Poznań. Its nave holds a marble altar with an 8.5-metre crucifix, and since 2011 an amber tabernacle stands on that altar. The tower carries three bells cast in 1933, named for St Stanislaus, Mary Queen of Poland and St John Wojciech.

Construction began on 13 October 1932, after a committee formed in 1929 on the initiative of Klemens Kohnke, then village mayor and leader of Hel's Poles; Stefan Cybichowski of Poznań prepared the design. The cornerstone was blessed on 18 June 1933 by Father Paweł Stefański of Jastarnia, and on 6 October 1933 Bishop Stanisław Okoniewski of Chełmno consecrated the church and erected the Corpus Christi parish. During World War II German soldiers used the building as a store, cinema and dormitory; since 1946 Franciscan fathers have cared for it.

The church's three bells, hung in 1933, are named "Stanisław Bishop Martyr", "Mary Queen of Poland" and "Jan Wojciech, patron of Poland"; by custom, all are rung together to announce the death of a parishioner. Since 1946 the parish has been run by Franciscan friars, and from 2001 to 2021 the church hosted concerts of the International Summer Festival of Culture and Art in Hel.

The church is located in the northern area of Hel and is easily accessible on foot from the town center. Visitors should be aware that visiting hours may be limited outside of service times, so it is helpful to check locally before planning a visit.

The building received official protection as an immovable monument in 1989, placing it under heritage conservation status. This recognition reflects its importance to the region's architectural and cultural record.
