Church of Our Lady the Queen of Poland
Local name: Kościół NMP Królowej Polski
The Church of Our Lady Queen of Poland was built as an Evangelical Church of the Augsburg Confession in the 18th century. It is a small, Baroque temple with a nave skeleton structure. Inside, you can see two-story galleries running around the building and a wooden coffered ceiling. Since the 1990s, the church has been used jointly by Catholics and Protestants.
The temple is the oldest surviving building in Ostrów Wielkopolski. It was built from the foundation of Józef Radziwiłł at the end of the 18th century. It is a one-nave, Baroque temple. Its walls were made in skeleton technique. Outside, a skeleton made of dark wood is visible. A neo-Romanesque tower is added to the entrance.
Inside, a large part of the interior design of the former Protestant temple has been preserved. These are first and foremost two-story empors on which the faithful listened to services and which allowed to increase the number of places in the church. A baroque coffered ceiling and the main altar have survived. After World War II, the original painting of Christ in Ogrojec was replaced by the figure of the Mother of God.
