What to do and see in Poznan, Central Poland: The Best Sacred & Religious Sites
Poznan was once the capital of Poland and is still the capital of the Wielkopolska region. Poznan lies midway between Berlin and Warsaw, which has helped make it an important town for centuries. Badly damaged in World War II, the city (especially its Old Town) has been beautifully restored. The huge Old Town Square (Stary Rynek) is one of Europe’s nicest, and is lined by fabulous historic attractions, restaurants and nightlife. The Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul is Poland’s oldest cathedral.

During my wife’s and me tour of Poznan Old Town Square and the surrounding streets, we reached Golebia Street, which houses one of the most amazing churches we have ever visited in the past, the Parish Church of St. Stanislaus (Fara Church). These sights are amazing and highly recommended. The Parish Church of St. Stanislaus church is amazing and stunning with wonderful designs and decoration both on its exterior and especially the richness of the interior space. Beautifully designed pillars, spectacular ceilings and plenty of spectacular elements in every corner and any direction you turn your eyes to. A site that must not be missed !!!

The synagogue was built a hundred years ago in the heart of the Jewish quarter. By the spring of 1940, the Germans had stripped the synagogue of its insignia. Later that year, the dome was destroyed, the exterior ground down and denuded. In late 1940, the Wehrmacht installed a full-length swimming pool in the middle of the sanctuary. Soldiers paddled where Jews had prayed. The pool had been in use as a pool until 2007.
