Kościół rzymskokatolicki pw. św. Jadwigi

Good

A classic building like many others

Beautiful...

An interesting place, has its history and traditions. Developed local parish community. An interestingly renovated interior.

In the Brzezinka district of Gliwice, there is a modest church, built of solid brick, well ... maybe a facade brick, but slightly "damaged by time and history", not plastered, in the neo-Gothic style, but ... If it wasn't for that that in its history, i.e. in January 1945, apart from crimes committed by Soviet soldiers, there was no damage to it, and later, inter alia, to build the tower, probably with bells, but in a slightly different style from the neo-Gothic one - many visitors could have problems deciphering its proper style. Similar churches can be found, among others (I think) meet in West Pomerania, you can compare it to the Gothic church in Mielno. The body is covered with ceramic tiles of the "carp" type, built on a rectangular plan. The facades are unplastered and have rough walls with window openings, topped with sharp arches, "two pieces" each, with modest stained glass windows. The church tower from the front has the so-called buttresses and is crowned with a roof, "sharp tracts", with a capsule, crowned with a three-leaf cross, presumably forged in a nearby, former smithy. From the apse, however, you can see traces of reconstruction or expansion, caused by its "history", with almost similar arches above the window openings, but the color of the bricks is different from the original. The apse is covered by a hip roof, probably already covered with modern "Dutch" roof tiles. On the ridge of the church, a turret with a bell was placed, covered like a tower with a porch, a pointed roof, topped with a slightly smaller cross, probably creating symmetry, in relation to the tower from the front. Unfortunately, I can't write something about its interior at the moment, because I don't have access to it, but I suppose it is undoubtedly interesting.
