Holy Trinity Church

Holy Trinity Church on Plac Malachowskiego is the main church of the Evangelical Augsburg Church in Poland and the oldest Protestant church in Warsaw. The neoclassical central structure was designed by Simon Gottlieb Zug and completed in 1782, taking direct inspiration from the Roman Pantheon: a large rotunda with a 33-meter clear-span dome and no interior columns. It signaled the rise of the Protestant minority in Warsaw, finally permitted to build representatively after decades of pressure. In September 1939 the church burned out under German bombing and the dome collapsed. Rebuilt between 1949 and 1958, it largely retains its original form. The dome's outstanding acoustics now make it a regular venue for classical concerts alongside regular services.
