Schinkel painted paintings that can be seen today, including at the Louvre, and also - like his great Italian predecessor - he created theatrical and opera decorations, frescoes and lithographs. And of course he designed: castles, palaces, residences of kings. His works stand today in many regions of Germany, Poland and Russia.
The church was built in less than two years. His architect was inspired by the achievements of many eras. However, neo-Roman and neo-Gothic features dominate. The interior of the church: an altar, a pulpit, windows, and choral posts - was cast in the nearby Ozimek smelter.
Only true belfry was missing to complete happiness of the parishioners. The goal was achieved only in 1858. The deep, strong sound of bells, which can still be heard today, is also due to the local metallurgists. Three steel bells were cast for use in 1922.
During World War II, the church was partially destroyed. Soon it was rebuilt in almost its original shape. May 9, 1988, but misfortune came. At night, the monument was set on fire, and the roof structure was completely burned. After renovation in October 1991, services were again held there.

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
Would you like to implement the project in your city as well?

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!
