The construction of the church of Saints Peter and Paul in Świętochłowice was preceded by a significant event: On June 20, 1884, the mass of water cut off 43 miners from the outside world in the Świętochłowice mine "Germany". Miraculously all of them were rescued after a few days. It was believed that the intervention of Providence saved their lives. So, the survivors took the initiative to erect a church. The construction of the neo-Gothic building was completed in 1891.
