Church of St Joseph the Betrothed of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Oława

Church of St Joseph the Betrothed of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Oława was a former auxiliary church on Jana Janowskiego street, destroyed by fire in 2013.

Construction and original purpose

The church was built as a single-nave brick building with one tower. Construction began on 28 March and was completed on 9 September 1877. It was originally a Protestant church dedicated to St Michael.

Change of purpose

The building passed into Catholic hands in the 1970s, when it was bought by Prelate Franciszek Kutkowski. The church belonged to the parish of Our Lady, Mother of Consolation in Oława and served as a funeral chapel, where Greek Catholic services were also held.

Destruction by fire

The building burned down on Corpus Christi, 30 May 2013, and has not functioned as an active church since.
