modern church of the Musiała estate, expanded from a chapel built in 1986
Churches and monasteries in Czeladź include a brick church by Pajzderski, a neo-Romanesque basilica in Piaski and a modern church on the Musiała estate.
Czeladź's sacred buildings come from different eras, from the early twentieth century to the 1980s. Each of the three stands in another part of the town, so they link into a quiet solo trip through its districts.
First place goes to the Church of St Stanislaus at Bytomska 5. Architects Tomasz Pajzderski and Hugo Kuder planned this massive brick church, built between 1904 and 1913 and decorated with wall paintings by Maciej Makarewicz. The ground plan is a Latin cross with towers beside the transept.
In the Piaski district stands the Church of Our Lady of Sorrows, a neo-Romanesque basilica from the early 1920s that copies a church from French Brittany. The coal company of Czeladź covered the building costs, and the church has been a shrine of St John Vianney since 2015. On the Musiała estate you will find the Church of St Matthew, which grew from a chapel of 1986 and was consecrated in 1995. Readers curious about the former Saturn mine can turn to an article on mines in new roles. The rest of the town is covered in things to do in Czeladź, and similar buildings across the region in churches and monasteries in Silesia.
The brick Church of St Stanislaus, begun in 1904, is the oldest. The basilica in Piaski was built roughly ten years later.
That is the Church of Our Lady of Sorrows in Piaski, which received the status in 2015.
