Kosciul pw. sw. Antoniego Padewskiego
Pila, PL
The history of the parish is inextricably linked with the building of the church, the construction of which began on November 21, 1928 and was completed in 1930 on March 15. The building, designed by the German architect Hekkomer from Stuttgart, with its contemplative, catacomb-like interior and simplified, innovative architectural form, somewhat reminiscent of the early Romanesque style, refers to the avant-garde style of sacred architecture leading in the 1930s, slightly modeled on the early Romanesque style represented mainly by German builders . The originality and uniqueness of this project is enhanced by the unusual furnishings and decorations of the temple, mainly through the over seven-meter-high majestic figure of the crucified Christ, made by Berthold Muller Orinhausen from Berlin, and wall paintings depicting individual scenes of the Way of the Cross, created by the artist from Manheim, Willi Osler.
