The Catholic Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus (Polish: Bazylika Najświętszego Serca Jezusowego ) in the Praga district of Warsaw is a Catholic Church of the Salesians of Don Bosco on the Kawęczyńska Street on the eastern bank of the Vistula.
history
The church was built from 1907 to 1923 by Łukasz Wolski in the neoclassical style on the initiative of Michał Piotr Radziwiłł as the Church of the Salesians of Don Bosco based on the model of the Roman papal basilica Saint Paul Outside the Walls . The construction was interrupted by the First World War and was not completed until 1923 by Hugon Kuder , whom the Vatican nuncio in Warsaw Achille Ratti, later Pope Pius XI. , supervised. In the same year it received the rank of minor basilica .
Since the church is located on the eastern bank of the Vistula, it was only marginally damaged during the Second World War (at the time of the Warsaw Uprising , the eastern bank of the Vistula was already occupied by the Red Army), but was plundered by the Wehrmacht.
