We are on Świętosławska Street, whose exit to Gołębia is closed by the front of the Parish Collegiate Church. st. Stanislaus the Bishop. Historically, a parish church is a parish church, usually at the market square in a given city. Today it is the second largest church after the cathedral or the oldest church in the city. And the collegiate church? It's a church with a chapter that elects the bishop, and it's not a cathedral. There is supposedly only one archi-collegiate in Poland, in Tum near Łęczyca. Amen! <br />
What we see today is a church from the 17th century. The original parish church of st. Mary Magdalene, which began to be built in the mid-thirteenth century, underwent several modernizations, until in 1773 it was struck by lightning, and the work was completed by a fire. In 1779, Poznań was Prussian and the authorities ordered the ruin to be pulled down. Next to it there was a Jesuit church (also a few other large monastic buildings), which in 1773 was abandoned after the dissolution of the order. The National Education Commission was a receiver of the post-Jesuit mass and awarded the church to a collegiate church without a house. That's probably why we can often meet with various calls of the parish.
