Church of Saint Mary of Częstochowa in Wołomin, church building in Wołomin, Poland
The Church of Saint Mary of Czestochowa in Wołomin is a brick building from the early 20th century with two prominent towers framing the main entrance. Inside, it displays neogothic features including pointed arches at the entry, large rose windows, and walls covered with frescoes depicting biblical scenes.
The community began construction in 1908 to create a place of worship, completing the building in 1927. After severe war damage in 1944, the church was completely rebuilt between 1950 and 1953 and reconsecrated in 1966 by Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński.
The church is dedicated to the sanctuary of Czestochowa, a name deeply rooted in Polish faith and devotion to Mary. Inside, visitors see Polish saints and biblical scenes painted on the ceilings and walls, reflecting what matters most to the local community.
The church is easily reached by public transit or car and sits in a quiet neighborhood of Wołomin. Visitors should allow time to explore the interior frescoes and details on the six altars at a comfortable pace.
Frescoes in the choir depict scenes from one thousand years of Polish and church history, including the baptism of Poland and the victory at Vienna. Artist Jerzy Ostrowski created this extensive historical work, turning the ceiling into a living history book.
