Saint Mary Magdalene Church in Warsaw, Gothic and Baroque brick church in Wawrzyszew district, Poland.
Saint Mary Magdalene Church is a brick structure with a single nave of square plan and a Gothic chancel, topped by a Baroque bell tower that rises distinctly above the roofline. The facade combines multiple styles with decorative details from the Classicist period framing the entrance and walls.
The church's construction began in 1542 under the patronage of Baltazar Smosarski, a physician at the court of the Dukes of Mazovia and King Sigismund I. Over succeeding centuries it underwent changes in style and structure as local benefactors contributed to its development and upkeep.
This church has been a gathering place for the local community in Bielany for many generations, where residents mark important life events and celebrate together. It remains woven into the fabric of daily neighborhood life and identity.
The church sits at Wólczyńska 4 in Warsaw surrounded by a brick wall that encloses the property and creates a distinct boundary for the grounds. It stands near the intersection of Horace and Petöfi Streets, making it straightforward to find on foot.
The structure displays a rare fusion of three distinct architectural periods within a single building, each layer representing a different era of craftsmanship and taste. What makes this blending unusual is how naturally the different styles sit alongside one another rather than competing visually.
