PARISH OF OUR LADY OF CZESTOCHOWA

Churches cathedrals basilicas and chapels

The parish church of Our Lady of Building, located in the heart of the Grand Street, could almost go unnoticed. The entrance of the church is not directly on the street, but is in a slight indentation. And the building being modern, it doesn't draw the eye straight away. However, if you look at the eyes a little, you will discover a completely unusual bell, as suspended in the air, and placed just above the entrance. That is original. Built on a former garden renovated in 1974 by a Polish architect, the church combines modernity with tradition with elegance and beauty. By entering the building, you will see on your left an astonishing wrought iron cross that runs up to the last stage. When you walk along the benches, you will join the choir. This is the perfect place for the circle. The white of the marble floor reveals the altar itself in circles. Thus placed in the centre of the church, you will be immersed in a bath of light and colours emanating from the magnificent stained glass windows. The latter trace the history of Poland. At the tabernacle you will see a representation of the Supper. Will you know how to find Judas? So look for the halo character. Every Sunday, a Franco-Polish mass is organised. Accessible to everyone (thanks to the diffusion of large screen translation), this mass shows the richness of a community open to sharing and will be happy to welcome you and to make you visit the places, even if you come only as a tourist. A superb building is not missing.
