Parish church

Local name: Kościół farny

Parish Church is the oldest building layed with stone in Bialystok. It's interior is patterned with multi-colored paintings. Visitors can worship a beautiful main altar made of wood and covered with a white polychrome with gilding, an altar of Jesus Crucified, a richly decorated mensa and eighteenth-century church organs.

Church was built on site of the former wooden temple in the late Gothic style with Reneissance elements. It was painted with white from the outside. You can enter the church through the massive doors placed in a beautiful baroque portal.

Above the main altar there is a painting of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Above there is an Eye of Divine Providence. Below a mensa can be found with richly decorated cover on which the tabernacle was placed.

In the past it was a mausoleum of the Gryfit-Branicki family. Family graves and the urn with a heart of Jan Klemens Branicki are a proof for this. In the 20th century, due to the small size of the building and lack of space for devotees, a cathedral was built on, which significantly exceed the size of the parish church.
