Kościół świętego Franciszka, Ruda Śląska

St. Francis Church in Zabrze - Roman Catholic church in Zabrze, erected in the years 1884-1885, probably according to the design of Paul Jackisch in Neo-Gothic style, entered in the provincial register of monuments.

The church was consecrated on May 6, 1886 by Cardinal Georg Kopp. Renovated in 1948.

A three-nave, hall-like building with a Latin cross ground plan. Covered with gable roofs. In the axis of the façade there is a tower with a bell tower and a clock. The clock was installed in the tower by Sigmund in 1896. Originally there were three bells inside the tower. They bore the names of St. Francis of Assisi, St. Barbara and St. Benedict Joseph Labre. The west side of the church is adorned with a quadrilateral, projecting tower topped with a spire with an octagonal turret on the south side. Above the sacristies the church is completed by open galleries, which also raised many objections in the design, and to the west the nave is closed by a music choir.
