Trinity Church (Gliwice)
The Trinity Church is an Armenian Catholic church on ul. Mikołowska (Nicolaistraße) in the inner city of the Polish city of Gliwice . Today it is also called the Armenian Church of the Holy Trinity or Trinity Church for short.
It is the successor to the wooden Trinity Church, which burned down in a fire in the suburb of Beuthen on April 2, 1813, and was built between 1836 and 1838. On June 29, 1838 the new Trinity Church was consecrated. When in 1872 some Gleiwitzer confessed to the Old Catholic denomination, they asked Mayor Teuchert for a church building for their community. In the same year Teuchert made the Trinity Church available to them. On October 6, 1872, the Old Catholics celebrated their first service here.
In 1920 the Catholic Parish Office of the All Saints Church demanded the church back, which it received back on March 22, 1921. Since then the Peter and Paul Church has held masses there. In 1941 the old Catholic community got the church back. In 1945 (when the Germans were expelled, the Old Catholic community ceased to exist), the Armenian Catholic community received the church.
