Saint Procopius church in Strzelno

The circular stone church features two symmetrical apses on the north side and a cylindrical tower with a prominent buttress on the west side.

Originally consecrated as Holy Cross Church in 1133, the building changed its dedication to Saint Procopius in 1779 and served various purposes during wartime periods.

The interior holds a 12th-century stone baptismal font carved from a single block and contains Poland's earliest Stations of the Cross from 1531.

Located at Saint Adalbert Square 1, this religious monument opens for occasional services, weddings, and early music concerts throughout the year.

The structure stands as Europe's only rotunda with a square presbytery instead of an apse, featuring an original cross-ribbed vault supported by four arches.
