St Margaret's Church in Śródka

The first church in Śródka was probably built before 1231. The present church was raised in the 14th century. In 1671–1805 it belonged to the Philippines (Oratorians).

History

In the 15th century the Chapel of St Barbara was added, and around 1652 the Chapel of St Philip Neri.

The church, burned during the Swedish Deluge, was rebuilt in 1658 and at that time partly lost its medieval character.

What to see

A single-aisled interior with a late Gothic star vault.

The high altar with an image of Our Lady in a silver dress from the end of the 17th century.

A painting of Our Lady with the Child on a crescent from the early 17th century and a painting with music-making angels from about 1603 in the Chapel of St Barbara.

The former house of the Congregation of the Philippines of 1746–1777 next to the church.

Good to know

The church stands in Śródka, a few steps from the three-dimensional mural and the Gate of Poznań.

This is a working church. It cannot be visited during Mass and services, and you are asked to dress modestly and keep quiet.
