The present church of the Holy Spirit in Bytom was built in the early eighteenth century, but the first, wooden chapel stood in this place probably already at the turn of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. For centuries, the temple belonged to the Order of the Holy Sepulchre, which had a hospital in the vicinity. The building was erected on an octagonal plan, harking back to the chapel of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. The edifice and its interior are a beautiful example of the Baroque style.
