Adalbert of Prague church in Bytom

Adalbert of Prague church in Bytom, Catholic church in Bytom, Poland.

The Adalbert of Prague church in Bytom is a single-nave hall church of brick with stone details, its Gothic presbytery older than the Baroque nave added in the 18th century, when a tower with porch and a new facade were built. A walled-up, inaccessible crypt lies beneath the presbytery. Two 18th-century Baroque figures of Saints Peter and Paul survive from the old furnishings; the monastery and parish office stand opposite.

A wooden church and monastery for Franciscans brought by Duke Władysław Opolski were built in 1257–1258 and dedicated to St Nicholas. After the Hussite wars expelled the friars in 1430, the Observant branch returned in 1440 and replaced the wooden buildings with brick before 1450. St John of Capistrano preached here on 20 May 1454. The church was rebuilt in Baroque style in the 18th century, secularised in 1810 and sold to the Evangelical parish in 1833; Catholics took it over after 1945 and reconstruction ended in 1964.

The church is dedicated to Saint Adalbert, a name it received after 1945 when Catholic settlers led by Father Zygmunt Staniszewski, a displaced person from the Eastern Borderlands, took over the abandoned building. Since 1997 the parish has kept relics of Saint Adalbert brought from Prague through the efforts of parish priest Father Bartłomiej Kuźnik. Franciscan friars of the Province of the Assumption in Katowice still serve here.

The church is located at Klasztorny Square and welcomes visitors during regular hours. It is helpful to check opening times in advance, particularly if you are traveling with a group or wish to attend a specific service.

Since 1997 the parish has held relics of Saint Adalbert, brought from Prague through the efforts of parish priest Father Bartłomiej Kuźnik. The church also keeps two 18th-century Baroque figures of Saints Peter and Paul, the only furnishings surviving from the older interior.
