Lubawa: Churches, Park and Cycling Route

Churches and Architectural Styles in Lubawa

The Church of St John the Baptist and St Michael the Archangel has particularly valuable ceilings in the nave and presbytery. Most of its furnishings date from the time of its foundation. The ceilings are located in two specific areas of the church, while the dating applies to most of the furnishings. The presbytery is the choir area; together with the nave, these are distinct parts of the interior. Those interested in religious architecture will find both specific design features and a historical point of reference here.

Another place of worship in Lubawa is the Gothic Church of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary and St Anne. The wooden Church of St Barbara is located outside the Old Town. The Gothic style and the wooden construction present a clear architectural contrast. They offer different features to compare: style and material; the Church of St Barbara is also distinguished by its location outside the Old Town. This makes it possible to view the churches according to specific interests rather than simply as a single attraction.
