Churches and monasteries in Wałcz: two neo-Gothic brick churches, a Capuchin church and two Orthodox-rite churches in former Protestant buildings.
Wałcz has four places of worship, all tied to Protestant architecture of the 19th or inter-war period. It is a calm set for anyone wishing to see the town through its changes of denomination too.
The Church of St Nicholas stands right next to the town hall. It was built of brick in 1863-1865 and consecrated in 1866, and older furnishings were moved into it from the former church. The Church of St Anthony at Sądowa 4 was built in 1900-1903 for the Protestant congregation, cross-shaped in plan; today it belongs to the Capuchins.
The Orthodox Church of the Holy Trinity at Kujawska 15 serves Orthodox worshippers in a former Protestant cemetery chapel; its iconostasis comes from a dismantled church in the Lublin region. The Greek Catholic Church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross at Andersa 3 occupies a Lutheran hospital chapel of 1923-1924, with a relief commemorating the fallen of the First World War.
Background is given in the articles on the Orthodox churches of the lake district and on Wałcz between its lakes. After sightseeing you can head to the water: lakes in Wałcz, and the town as a whole is things to do in Wałcz.
The church of St Anthony on Sądowa street, built for the Protestant congregation in the early 20th century.
It was brought from a church taken down in the Lublin area.
