Church of Saint Brother Albert ‘Ecce Homo’
A small-scale hall church of a compact structure, with a triangularly closed presbytery, designed in the mood of Post-Modernism of the 1980s . At the lower level, there is the Hall of Memory of Brother Albert. In the elevation, there are accents of slender, triangular windows seated in the sharp-angled, tectonic architraves. The characteristic “bay windows” cutting through the roof surfaces create an illusion of a transept and a por-tal. The whole structure is covered with a high mansard roof. In the break point, there are windows to illuminate the interior, similar to skylights. Inside, there is a visible rafter framing with a wooden grid, descending to the white walls, which form prayer niches. The altar on a three-step platform, holds a sarcophagus with relics of St. Brother Albert under the mensa. Above the tabernacle, there is a copy of the painting by Adam Chmielowski himself — “Ecce Homo”. Characteristic for the interior and the external part are the white walls and frames, contrasting with dark wood and the massive copper roofs. The belfry has been located in a part of the roof, “mounted” along the apex. The roofs of this structure are cut through with the bell openings. The structure is crowned with a cross and an ave-bell similar to those of wooden churches. The entire church brings to mind associations with small historic churches of the region of Małopolska and the architecture of the neighbouring convent of Albertine sisters (designed by Jan Sas-Zubrzycki), serving as a model example of good continuation in architecture.
