Churches and monasteries in Lędziny range from a Baroque church on Klimont hill to a postmodern parish church and a Lutheran church in Hołdunów.
These three churches belong to different worlds: eighteenth-century Baroque, architecture at the turn of the millennium and postwar Lutheran building. The route suits a quiet solo trip through the town's districts.
Best begin with St Clement's at Zabytkowa 28. Baroque builders finished it between 1769 and 1772 on Klimont hill, where a timber church had stood, and it is a registered monument. The town put its image on the civic arms. The sponsor was Piotr Wehowski, estate manager and a Protestant.
The town's modern landmark is the church of Our Lady of the Rosary (aleja Matki Boskiej Różańcowej 8), raised from the 1990s to 2003 and blessed in 2004. Its style is postmodern, and the idea came from parish priest Henryk Głuch. In Hołdunów stands the Holy Trinity church, Lutheran, designed by Adam Lisik and built in 1982-1984, after an older church had been pulled down in 1967. Further addresses wait in things to do in Lędziny, and churches from the whole voivodeship in churches and monasteries in Silesia.
The coat of arms shows the silhouette of the Church of St Clement on Klimont hill.
The Church of the Holy Trinity was built in 1982-1984 as the second Lutheran church in Hołdunów, after the first was demolished in 1967.
