This event of 1365 was surely the most significant one, but apart from the kings who prayed here, such as August II the Strong and his son August III, there are many famous personalities associated with the temple. For example, the architect of the present Pompeo Ferrari parish church is not just anybody. This native Italian was an outstanding graduate of the Academy of St. Luke in Rome. He came to Poland on the recommendation of Stanisław Leszczyński, the voivode of Poznań, and even then he was a recognized architect.
The church was built on the site of an earlier one from the first years of the 13th century. So he was with the city practically from its beginning. The German name of the city is also associated with the patron - Fraustadt, meaning the City of the Lady. Unfortunately, it was destroyed by two great fires. Reconstruction began only 35 years after the second fire in 1685. We can see the effects of the last reconstruction until today.
Inside, there are numerous medieval relics, such as the net vault over the presbytery. While standing in the center of the church, raise your head and admire the magnificent murals. They represent the Holy Trinity surrounded by archangels and other important figures from the Holy Scriptures. This baroque church furnishings are impressive, right? In the main altar, pay attention to the image of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, as well as the medallion with the image of the second patron saint of the temple - St. Stanislaus the Bishop. 18th century side altars are also interesting.

Ah, what a wedding it was! The great King Kazimierz himself stood in front of the altar of our church decorated for this occasion. His bride was the young princess Jadwiga Żagańska, daughter of Henryk V Głogowski. Wschowa had not seen such a grand celebration before.
How it working
To listen to the history of monuments as part of the "Discover History" project, you need to follow a few simple steps. Below, we present a short, step-by-step "user manual" to provide a relatively simple way to access the mini-auditions.
You need a smartphone with a camera. The camera lens should be pointed at the information plaque located next to the monument. Below is a view of the plaque itself and its example location next to the Karol Musioł monument in Opole.
After pointing your smartphone's camera at the QR code located on the right side of the plaque, the app's welcome screen will appear, followed by a screen with the name, photo of the monument, and the "START" button.
The "START" button starts the audio recording process.
Your smartphone will prompt you with the next steps after you listen to the story or pause it. Please keep an eye on your smartphone screen!
Other available options: brief information about the monument, author of the text and recording, list of other monuments in the city included in the "Discover History" project, downloadable map of monuments, video, and social media links

Monuments in cities remind us of the history of places and people, and allude to important events. They are also works of art. Bronze, metal, wood, or concrete transformed into the form of a monumental obelisk attract attention. We enjoy sitting by them, taking photos, and making appointments.
Project partners
Implementing the "Discover history" project in each city requires the involvement of many people: programmers, graphic designers, writers, actors, sound engineers, and coordinators. It is thanks to them that this project came to life.
Our ambition is to continually expand its reach. Therefore, we thank our current partners and invite additional cities, institutions, companies, and individuals to collaborate!
