Catholic church of the Mother of God

(Edited)

Hello everybody! There are majestic churches, and there are those that are "permeated" with history. The Catholic church was built on the holy historical territory, and its construction took five years. Unfortunately, this place was destroyed by time and historical circumstances, but modern architects have restored the former grandeur of the Church of the Mother of God.

This sacred place is the adornment of a small town. However, the Church of the Mother of God was restored according to ancient drawings and is a landmark of the district.

The red brick barn has a neo-gothic style. Historically, the building was located in the same place, but it was destroyed. It was decided to restore it from scratch.

The main attraction of the cathedral is the 36 meter high bell tower. Due to the height of the bell tower, it can be seen from almost anywhere in the city.

Each window of the temple is decorated with a fresco that depicts the biblical story. At night, these murals look great and are eye-catching. Since the building is located next to the river, sometimes fog covers it.

Decorative turrets are located along the perimeter, which add picturesqueness to the temple.

On the guard of the temple there is not only the Lord God, but also a large German shepherd. A cozy aviary was made for a comfortable stay. The dog was not aggressive, but very careful.

The temple itself is not always open to the public. I was unable to get inside, but I was able to freely enter the grounds and take some stunning photographs of the ancient architecture.

Since there are very few Catholic churches in the area, the Roman Catholic Church of St. Casimir is the place of worship for all Catholics in the area. The castle has several names. But the main title in the title of the article. This is a historical site that is famous for its church pomp.

The very act that the church was founded on a historical site and the historic district of the city speaks of its importance.

The uniqueness of the building is that it was built on a holy place. In fact, the church was rebuilt from scratch.

The previous church, which was located on the holy land of the city, was closed and resumed its work only during the Second World War. The occupation forces allowed the use of temples closed by the conscientious regime. After the victory, the temple was closed again. The building was soon destroyed by time.

However, at present, the country's authorities have allocated funds and decided to restore the historic building, which has become a landmark. I believe that honoring the memory of architectural masterpieces and restoring them is a good thing!

I think the brick façade and the cloudy, damp atmosphere are beautiful. The photograph with the illuminated stained glass windows is charming.
Thank you for your work @danny.green. Regards.
