All Saints' Church

The church was built in 1777–1787 to a design by Antoni Höhne as the Protestant Church of the Holy Cross. Since 1945 it has been a Catholic church, and since 1981 a parish church.

History

The interior fittings were made in 1785–1787 by Augustyn Schöps.

What to see

A late Baroque-neoclassical building with an elliptical pseudo-dome supported on eight pillars and two-level galleries.

Figures of St Peter and St Paul from 1788 above the entrance and a sculpture of Moses from 1787.

The high altar with “The Last Supper” combined with the pulpit and organ. The organ case of 1785 bears the monogram of King Stanisław August.

Good to know

A few steps further along the same street is the Museum of World Cultures.

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