Jesus Church (Cieszyn)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jesus Church (Polish: Kościół Jezusowy) or Grace Church is a Lutheran Church located in Cieszyn, Poland. It is one of the largest and most important protestant churches in Europe[citation needed].
The construction of the Lutheran basilica was made possible with the assistance of Sweden's Charles XII. Baroque in style, Jesus Church was constructed between 1710-1772. In the first two decades of the church's existence, it was a significant center of pietism.
On 12 October 2008, Polish president Lech Kaczyński visited Lutheran Jesus Church in Cieszyn, becoming the first Polish president who had visited Protestant place of worship in Poland.[1][2]
