Evangelical Church of the Augsburg Confession in Czerwionka-Leszczyny

The Evangelical Church of the Augsburg Confession (Lutheran) in Czerwionka-Leszczyny stands on 3 Maja Street, on the site of the former "Dębieńsko" mine. The church of 1926 has a single nave, is built of brick and has a classicising form.

A building that resembles an industrial structure

The mass of the church resembles a mine industrial building adapted for sacred use, which fits well with the mining history of the town. The church belongs to the Katowice Diocese of the Evangelical Church of the Augsburg Confession in Poland.

The interior after the renovation of 1998

A major renovation was carried out in 1998 to a design by Wanda and Edward Kryjak of Tychy. The interior received a stained-glass window symbolising the Holy Spirit, made by Dariusz Plinta of Mikołów, a figure of Christ carved by Wojciech Swoboda of Tychy and a historic cross of 1858, originally from the Church of the Resurrection in Katowice.
