Over 3,600 churches were built in Poland since World War II, the vast majority during the reign of the communists, who were openly hostile to religion. Therefore, the churches were built mostly by the efforts of the parishioners. They used the material, infrastructure, and technologies that were available at the given moment. The construction of churches had wide support in all layers of society – in the ‘80s 4 million people were involved in this building. In many cases it engaged the most talented architects, artists and craftsmen. This church construction fever resulted in thousands of monumental structures, built of brick and concrete. We call it Architecture of the VII Day. On this blog we will present one modern Polish church a day.

Church of the Lady of Perpetual Help in Tarnobrzeg, Poland. The construction started right before the Martial Law in Poland - the time, when the communist government drastically restricted normal life of Poles.
