Saint Andrew Bobola church in Gdańsk

Saint Andrew Bobola church in Gdańsk, Catholic church in Wrzeszcz Dolny, Gdańsk, Poland

Saint Andrew Bobola church is a Neo-Baroque church built between 1913 and 1916 in Wrzeszcz Dolny, Gdańsk, originally as the Protestant Christuskirche. Its tower holds two bells cast in Torgau, Germany, commemorating the dead of the First World War. The building survived the Second World War without damage.

Built between 1913 and 1916 in the Baroque Revival style as the Protestant Christuskirche, the church was consecrated on 31 July 1916 in the presence of Crown Prince Wilhelm Hohenzollern and his wife Cecilie of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, who donated a baptismal font and two decorated Bibles. It survived World War II undamaged, then served as a transit camp for German prisoners of war after Soviet forces took Gdańsk. Through the efforts of Father Brunon Pawelczyk it passed to the Jesuits and was re-consecrated under its present name on 15 April 1947.

The church is also called "Duży" (the Large one) to tell it apart from the auxiliary Holy Cross church, known as "Mały". On 24 May 1948 the image of Our Lady of Ostrobrama was solemnly consecrated here. The two bells in the tower commemorate those killed in the First World War and bear plaques confirming they were cast in Torgau, Germany.

The church stands in Dolny Wrzeszcz, in the Gdańsk district of Wrzeszcz, near the Mickiewicza Street area. It is a parish church of the Gdańsk-Wrzeszcz deanery in the Gdańsk archdiocese. Visitors should note that the church is also called the Large Church (Duży), to tell it apart from the smaller auxiliary Church of the Holy Cross (Mały).

The tower holds two bells cast in Torgau, Germany, as small plaques confirm; their inscriptions are lost, and they commemorate the dead of the First World War. The church is called the Large one, to tell it apart from the small auxiliary Church of the Holy Cross.
