- liucy752Taipei, Taiwan1,639 contributionsGorgeous Baroque churchOne of the most impressive church I have ever seen in Poland. Dating back to 1701, it is a Baroque architecture incorporating some Roman architectural elements. The interior decoration is mainly pink and gold. The wealth of forms and lavish Baroque decoration are fascinating. Don’t miss the majestic and gorgeous pipe organ, which is said to have over 2,000 pipes. It's quite a pity that the front of the stunning church is obscured by two rows of street houses.Visited August 2023Traveled with familyWritten October 4, 2023
- petergab10Melbourne, Australia671 contributionsStunning interior not to be missedThe church plays a part in Poland's Baroque architecture history and is definitely worth a visit while in Poznan a short walk from Old Market Square. Offers many photo opportunities from its pink exterior to its stunning interior, which you will notice once you step into the church. From its large columns and archways, Painted ceilings which are stunning, Sculptures, Beautiful church organ which offers so much history by itself.Visited October 2023Traveled soloWritten March 29, 2024
- BRIAN GLiverpool, United Kingdom139 contributionsBeautiful Baroque church in the centre of PoznanPaid a brief visit during a walking tour of Poznan. The exterior of the church is impressive enough, but the homeless woman begging in the doorway didn't initially give a good impression. However, as soon as you walk in you can feel that wonderful aura of serenity that you find in so many European churches. The interior is incredibly ornate with something to see whichever way you turn. Well worth visiting.Visited September 2024Traveled soloWritten September 28, 2024

I shall not say what church here and there who have the best look.
For once i was inside a church for a little look and took also some photo.
Sitting on a church bench and have a little speak with them who not are around me anymore but in heaven.
Roman Catholic basilica.
In the heart of Old Town and so big and plassed that to get photo of total church from outside was impossible.
Built between 1651 and 1701.
Polish and Italian masters in the Baroque style.
Directed by Italian-born Tomasz Poncino
Photo time left for me now.
When I left I give a lot of coins to the lady in door she sent me airkisses and crossed her a lot and I felt she was super happy and in chock almost.

Part of the Jesuit college complex, this is a fine example of Polish baroque architecture. Adorned with may beautiful statues, and paintings, it is a beautiful building. There are a number of tombs, in the cathedral with a number of exquisitely decorated, small side rooms, you can step in to. It is just a short walk from the Old Town square and should be on your to-do list, when visiting Poznan.

This pink church is part of the former Jesuit collegiate buildings on College Square, a short walk from the Old Town. Inside is a stunning, rich baroque interior - not at all what I was inspecting! It's a big church too, so the statues (e.g. of 12 apostles) and the effect is awe-inspiring. Well worth dropping in.

I love this building for a number of reasons.
Firstly, it is not like most churches. It is a beautiful dark and baroque styled building, with glittering gold inside.
Secondly, I was married here and, when looking around churches, this was immediately where I knew we would be married.
Whether you go in to join a mass or to discover its beauty and history, a visit to Fara is essential when visiting Poznan and Stary Rynek.

Church is located in the city center in the market square and is hidden in one of the back streets. You can see the entrance emerging in the middle of tenement houses. You will be overwhmelmed by the beauty of this church. This is one of the most beautiful baroques churches in Poland.

Such a splendid church, we had an English speaking guide who was very knowledgeable.
It was part of the free walking tour. I thoroughly recommend this tour
we managed to see and hear about a lot of Poznan that we would not have found out ourselves.

In a spare hour a Polish colleague showed me the Poznan sqare and via one of the side Streets we came in this church. I barely believed what I saw. I holy mess was going on so I could not make flash pictures. I was the most beautiful baroc church I have ever seen. If I am to visit Poznan again and have some (considerable) time left, I defenitly want to revisit this charch again. A church like this I have never seen in my life. This enriches your life. Amazing.!!

What are the hours that a tourist can visit onTuesday June 12 or Wednesday June 13?
Written February 26, 2018
Hi, the Church is open from 6am to 7pm, but there are some services and sightseeing is not allowed. The times given now (Do not think it will change) are 6am, 8am, 12:30, 7pm. Weekday services are not very long, they last about half an hour. If you want to listen to the organ playing - it's at 12:15 but in summer (I think July and August) still you can visit the crypt and with a guide : 667386888; 697453065, (61)8530397. They will be informed about the whereabouts.Have a nice trip and enjoy!

Здравствуйте!
Нет, вход бесплатный. Конечно, имеется ящичек для пожертвований, как во всех храмах, но это сугубо добровольно. Постарайтесь не попасть во время службы, чтобы иметь возможность свободного передвижения и обзора всех витражей.
Хорошего Вам путешествия.
