St Anthony of Padua's Church - The Franciscans. Built in the years 1674-1728, there's seemingly not much to this church just off the market square. Hidden behind the bland exterior, however, is an absolute explosion of Baroque indulgence, with colorful carved wood, stucco, and paintings. The three - nave Baroque church has two spacious chapels, one at the end of each side nave. The chancel and the main nave are covered with barrel vaulting with lunettes, the side naves with cross vaulting. The chapels are topped with cupolas with lanterns. The interior is richly decorated with stuccos. The polychromy was made in the years 1702-1735 by the Franciscan friar Adam Swach. The paintings in the chancel and in the main nave depict scenes from the life of St Francis. The high altar and the sculpted choir stalls were made by Adam Swach's brother, Antoni, around 1700. The brothers were also the makers of the black - stained wood altar in Virgin Mary Chapel (on the left side of the nave). In the altar there is a small painting Miraculous Holy Mother - Lady of Poznań - from mid-17th century. There are statues of Jesus and the 12 apostles underneath the cupola. Across the nave, in St Francis Chapel, there are statues of Franciscan saints. The church has several 18th century wall epitaphs with portraits of the dead. It's a spectacle worth seeing, and visitors flock to this church to see the Marian shrine, which has housed the famous picture of the Miracle-Working Virgin Mary, also known as the Lady of Poznań, for 300 years.
