After spending some time wandering Silesian urban centres searching for the soul within all that communist concrete, it's the sight of something like the Church of St. Anne's that can put your heart at ease. Standing at the end of a long, picturesque lane of maple and linden trees, this beauty takes pride of place in downtown Zabrze as the city's finest sacral building. Built in the years 1897-1900 in neo-Romanesque style with neo-Gothic elements, the cross-shaped church features a clock in its belltower and a fine interior full of red brick arches with ornamental stone detailing and gold leaf wall highlights. Take a look at the numerous semicircular stained glass windows depicting saints.
