The church of Saint Matthias in Siewierz stands
near the Market Square, close to the castle of the
bishops of Kraków, who were at the same time
dukes of Siewierz. For centuries, it has served as
a parish church of Siewierz. The first mention of
the shrine comes from the fifteenth century, but
it is known the church was erected along with
the foundation of the city in the second half of
the thirteenth century. It had a stone chancel
and a nave wooden, which was turned into brick
one in the sixteenth century. The present
appearance results from the late- eighteenth-
century reconstruction. The church is a BaroqueClassicist building. It is worthwhile that the
Bishops’ Gate and an interesting entrance portal.
