Churches and monasteries in Pyskowice include the Gothic St Nicholas' Church, the neo-Gothic St Stanislaus' by the cemetery and a Lutheran church of the 1890s.
Pyskowice has three churches from three traditions. The oldest stands in the heart of town, and the other two stand out for their neo-Gothic shape. They can be seen on one quiet walk.
The town's oldest church is St Nicholas' Church on Kościelna Street, a registered monument. Its Gothic body was altered in the Baroque and neo-Gothic periods, and the present look mainly results from rebuilding after the town fire of 1822. The first mentions of Pyskowice date from 1256, and a church already stood here then. A neo-Gothic facade and historic organs complete the picture.
St Stanislaus' Church is a small branch church of 1865-1868, standing right beside a historic cemetery, on the site of an older building known to have existed in the mid-fifteenth century. A local legend surrounds its beginnings. The Lutheran community has its own church, Saints Peter and Paul, raised in 1894-1896 by the builder Theodor Schmitz and consecrated on 6 January 1897. It is still in use. More places in town are covered in things to do in Pyskowice, and sacred buildings of the whole region in the category churches and monasteries in Silesia.
Its current look comes mainly from the rebuilding after the town fire of 1822.
The builder Theodor Schmitz led the work. The foundation stone was laid in the summer of 1894, and the church was consecrated on 6 January 1897.
