About

Nestled in the heart of Katowice's Śródmieście district, the Kościół Apostołów Piotra i Pawła stands as a magnificent example of Gothic Revival architecture, designed by Joseph Ebers and consecrated in 1902. This historical church, once the seat of the Katowice bishopric and a significant garrison church, captivates with its stunning neo-Gothic vaults and stained glass windows. Renowned for its warm, quiet, and solemn atmosphere, it offers a place for devout worship and reflection, including adoration of the Blessed Sacrament and veneration of relics from St. Padre Pio and St. John Paul II. The church is adorned with memorial plaques of Silesian bishops, adding to its rich historical tapestry. Nearby, you'll find the Carmelite nunnery, a serene square, and convenient amenities like parking and a bus stop, not to mention educational institutions like a high school, the Palace of Youth, and the Academy of Physical Education. For many, it's a site of cherished memories, particularly for its impressive organ that fills the church with majestic sound during religious ceremonies. With an average Google rating of 4.7, this architectural gem continues to be a treasured landmark and an incredible attraction in Katowice.

"Mój" kościół. Piękna architektura. Kompetentny proboszcz. I dużo wydarzeń odbywających się w kościele.
