Church of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Będzin-Łagisza

The Church of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary is a Roman Catholic parish church in Łagisza, a district of Będzin. It belongs to the Będzin deanery and is a post-war church: construction began in 1946.

Building after the war

Work began on 27 May 1946 to a design by Tadeusz Rudzki. It was completed thanks to the efforts of Father Leon Stasiński and the parishioners. The building work was blessed on 15 September 1946 by Bishop Teodor Kubina of Częstochowa, and the same bishop solemnly blessed, that is consecrated, the church on 25 September 1949.

Interior

Inside are the Stations of the Cross made in 1949 by the Kraków artist Jadwiga Socha. The stained-glass windows go well with the architecture of the building.

Practical information

• The church lies in Łagisza, in the western part of Będzin. The exact address is best checked before your visit.
• It is about three kilometres from here to Będzin Castle.
• This is an active parish church, so the best time to see the interior is outside services.
