Why go
The church stands on a hill and can be seen from afar. Inside it is surprisingly bright thanks to large windows and a reinforced-concrete structure that was innovative for its time. It was declared a Monument of History in 2018.
The walk along Lipowa from the square takes about 15 minutes and passes the Orthodox St Nicholas Cathedral.
