About

Nestled in the Załęże district of Katowice, Kościół św. Józefa stands as a testament to Gothic Revival architecture, intricately designed by Ludwig Schneider and completed in 1900. This historical and architectural gem is dedicated to the memory of miners who perished in a tragic mining disaster. Its grandeur is marked by three naves, adorned with original altars, a majestic pulpit, and vividly detailed Stations of the Cross.

Having undergone a meticulous restoration between 2009 and 2012, the church is not only a place of worship but also a beacon of historical preservation, drawing visitors with its enchanting aura. Adjacent to it, you'll find a rectory and a care facility managed by the Sisters of St. Hedwig, which adds a layer of community and compassion to the locale.

Kościół św. Józefa is easily accessible from the bustling city center of Katowice and nearby Chorzów, with a convenient tram stop right in front of it. And for those traveling by car, parking is readily available on the church square. This beloved landmark, enjoying an impressive 4.5-star rating on Google, remains a serene yet poignant tribute to the city's mining heritage, inviting both reflection and admiration.
