Garrison church of St. Stanisław Bishop
Garrison church of St. Stanisław Bishop in Radom is a unique example of architectural and historical changes that the sacred building has undergone over the 20th century. Initially, it was the Orthodox church of St. Mikołaj, erected in 1902 according to the design of Russian architects Wiktor Sichugow and M. Prieobrażeński. After Poland regained independence in 1918, the object passed into the hands of the Polish Army and after a short period of consideration of the creation of a regional museum, it was decided to adapt to the needs of military pastoral care. The reconstruction in the years 1925–1930 according to the design of Kazimierz Prokulski gave the temple a Catholic character, however, maintaining clear traces of primary, neobizantic architecture. The church was solemnly dedicated on October 5, 1930 by the field bishop Stanisław Gall as a temple of St. Stanisław - the patron of Poland.
Today the facility serves the military and civil community, and as part of the trail "Monuments of Radom" is an important tourist point and a testimony of the complex history of the region and its spiritual heritage.
