St. John Baptist's Church

The church, based on the projection of the Latin cross, was designed by architect Engelbrecht Seibertz from Berlin.

The church was built according to the Neo-Gothic style. It comprises a three-aisle hall structure, supported by richly-profiled pillars.

During World War II it served as the meeting venue for activists of the German opposition to Hitler.

On both sides of the chancel there are neo-Gothic side-altars – with the painting of St Joseph with Baby Jesus on the left and the copy of the Black Madonna of Częstochowa, made by Anna and Leonard Torwirt at the beginning of the 1960s, on the right. Neo-Gothic sculptures of the Mother of God with Baby Jesus, St Otto of Bramberg and St Alfons Liguori are displayed on the corbels.

In the side-chapel of the left transept there is an altar with Pieta. The eastern wall of the aisle comprises a plaque from 1957 commemorating the participants of the Warsaw Uprising.

The neo-Gothic pulpit and the choir loft supported by two bay pillars and four columns are also worth noting
