Church of the Immaculate Conception in Pruszków, Gothic Revival church in Pruszków, Poland
The Church of the Immaculate Conception in Pruszków is a brick Gothic Revival church designed by Henryk Julian Gay, built between 1906 and 1914 in the Żbików district. Its exterior features pointed arches, steep rooflines and decorative masonry, while the interior holds a wooden altar with statues of St Andrew and St Margaret and a venerated image of Our Lady of Good Death.
The present church replaced a 15th-century predecessor of which only foundation fragments remain. Henryk Julian Gay designed it in Gothic Revival style, and it was built between 1906 and 1914 under parish priest Józef Szczucki. In October 1914 German and Russian artillery fire damaged the tower and roof during the battle for Pruszków; rebuilding lasted from 1915 to 1922. During World War II the tower stored weapons for the Związek Walki Zbrojnej and later the Armia Krajowa.
The church serves as a central place for Catholic worship and community gatherings in Pruszków. It remains an important spiritual hub where local religious traditions and celebrations take place throughout the year.
The church is located at 3-go maja 124 in Pruszków and welcomes both visitors and congregants. When visiting, it is best to check opening times and respect any active services or religious ceremonies taking place inside.
The wooden altar from the medieval church holds statues of Saint Andrew and Saint Margaret and angels with spread wings. Beneath a painting of Saint Roch hangs a copy of the Mother of God of a Good Death, venerated by the faithful and shown only on Sundays and holidays.
