Facts and practical information

St. Michael the Archangel Church in Kalisz is a Roman Catholic parish church located in Kalisz, Dobro estate on Dobrzecka Street.

The present church was built in the years 1886-1887 in the Anglo-Gothic style on the site of a wooden church built in the years 1730-1733. On November 11, 1886 the church was consecrated. At the beginning of the last century a polychrome was painted in the chancel by Bronislaw Wisniewski.

During World War II, the Germans used the church as a warehouse.

In 1976 the Metropolitan of Krakow Karol Wojtyla, invited by the then parish priest Father Andrzej Bazinski, paid a visit to the church. He compared the church to Wawel Cathedral.
