Church of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Local name: Kościół Nawiedzenia NMP

One of the oldest churches in Warsaw. Its architectural qualities include gothic arches and starry vaults. There is a monument to Walerian Łukasiewicz in the church grounds.

The church was built on the site of a pagan temple in 1411 in the Gothic style. Its founder was duchess Anna Mazowiecka. He was famous for the fact that he also preached in German. In the second half In the 15th century, the temple was converted into a three-nave basilica. In 1581, a late Gothic belfry was added to it. The church was destroyed during the war with the Swedes.

Once again the temple was damaged during World War II. It was plundered many times and was burned during the Warsaw Uprising. After the war, it was rebuilt in such a way as to restore its original shape. This was possible thanks to the panoramas on which it was previously immortalized. During the martial law, Pastoral Care of Creative Communities operated here.
