Church of Saint Queen Jadwiga
The church is located next to the S. Wyspiański park. It is connected with the two adjacent buildings of the vicarage and school, establishing an internal yard with these. The church itself has been built on a semi-square plane. It has two levels. The lower part is occupied by the day chapel and the performance/ theatre hall. Monumental stairs lead to the main entrance, which not located along the axis. The interior is a hall. The simple concrete architecture and the structure similar to a cube, formed symbolically on a Greek cross plane, visible also in the skylight. It runs above the single nave, in the place of cutting through the structure along the diagonals. The deep-seated skylight indicates the direction towards the altar and runs into a stained-glass window-“wall” of
the alter in the incised corner. Four pillars are located in the centre, on the cross-section of the arms. In the presbytery, there is a replica of the Crucifixion from the Wawel Cathedral, a statue of Queen Jadwiga praying and an altar, in form of a sarcophagus with relics of the patron Saint. Massive pillars support the ceiling and the roof of the church. The organ gallery runs along two walls. The structure belongs formally to the geometric style of late modernism, close to brutalism, with some influences of post-modernist architecture. A characteristic feature is the waved, expressive wall of the main entrance, enclosed by the belfry-tower in form of a partially cut cylinder. Like the cross of the skylight, as well as the visible texture of concrete and massiveness of structures.
