Facts and practical information
Saint Michael the Archangel Church in Pobiedziska is a Roman Catholic parish church in Pobiedziska, in Greater Poland Voivodeship, in Poznań County, at Gnieźnieńska Street. It belongs to the Pobiedziska deanery.
It is one of the oldest Gothic churches in Wielkopolska. It was built at the turn of the 13th and 14th centuries. Burned down in 1331 by the Teutonic Knights, it was soon rebuilt, damaged by fire at the end of the 16th century, and rebuilt in the years 1579-1598. A turret on the top of the western facade dates back to that time. The single-nave interior is covered with a flat wooden ceiling. In the classicistic main altar from the beginning of the 19th century there is a late Gothic figure of Madonna and Child and a picture of St. Michael the Archangel from 1621. In the chancel, there is a late Renaissance epitaph of the priest Stanislaw Grot, the canon of Gniezno. Inside the church, a polychrome and sgraffito by Anna and Leonard Torwirt from Toruń. On the south wall of the nave there is an epitaph of an insurgent Mieczyslaw Jackowski, killed near Ignacew on May 8, 1863.
In the wall of the church there is a plaque commemorating Father Kazimierz Schulert, the parish priest of Pobiedziska in 1936-1941, murdered in the camp in Dachau on May 15, 1942. Near the church there is a wooden bell tower from the XIX century. Nearby there is an acacia robinia. In the vicinity of the temple stands a one-storey house, in which in the years 1918-1920 Blessed Michael Kozal lived as vicar of the local parish. This is commemorated by a stone with a plaque.
