former gunpowder works chapel from 1908, the church of an independent parish since 1981
What to do alone in Knurów? Walk around four places of worship: two parish churches, a Neo-Gothic chapel and a former gunpowder works chapel.
All four are religious buildings, and three of them come from different eras. Two are tied to the Krywałd district and the former powder works.
The Chapel of St Barbara in Krywałd of 1897, Neo-Gothic and built of clinker brick, is the oldest religious building in Knurów; the money came from Paulina Güttler, who owned the local powder works. The same works are linked to St Anthony of Padua's Church on Michalskiego Street, built in 1908 as a works chapel; regular services began there after the explosions of 1920-1921.
A newer character belongs to the Church of Our Lady of Częstochowa, built in 1981-1986 to a design by Adam Lisik. The Church of Saints Cyril and Methodius went up in 1937-1947, and its interior was furnished in 1960-1968.
The Chapel of St Barbara in Krywałd, from 1897.
The architect Professor Adam Lisik. Similar ideas are collected in the Solo section, and the town is described under Knurów.
