The St. Joseph Church in Opalenica

The St. Joseph Church ( kościół św.

The building of the church was financed by the Gustav-Adolf-Werk and the local sugar factory. After the First World War the parish moved to the new Uniate Evangelical Church in Poland .

After the Second World War and the expulsion of the German-speaking population , it was used by the Catholic Church and in 1981 raised to the status of a parish church .
