Churches and monasteries in Załęska Hałda-Brynów, Katowice: three parish churches, from a brick church of 1957 to a former brickworks turned into a church.
The three buildings show how churches were raised in this part of Katowice after the war: one in the 1950s, one in the 1980s and 1990s, and one adapted from an industrial building.
Consecrated in 1957, the Church of the Most Holy Names of Jesus and Mary at Jana Przyklinga 12 is a single-nave brick building designed by Karol Gierlotka. A bell tower with three bells was added in 1996, and the church houses an organ from 1883 brought from Hamburg.
The Church of Sts Cyril and Methodius on Bocheńskiego Street has stood since 1945 in the former brickworks. It is shared by two congregations, one Roman Catholic and one Greek Catholic. Before that, residents went to church in Załęże or to services in a rented hall.
The Church of the Holy Family and St Maximilian Kolbe on Zofii Kossak-Szczuckiej Street serves the Rolna-Wodospady estate. It was consecrated in 1993 and its interior holds stained glass and sculptures by local artists.
Besides the churches, the district has memorial sites, described separately. The whole district is under Załęska Hałda-Brynów, and further places of worship are gathered under churches and monasteries.
