The splendid form of St. Charles Borromeo Church dominates Chłodna, standing out as an absolute jewel among the socialist housing units surrounding it. Designed by Henryk Marconi, and built between 1841 and 1849, this glorious structure was modelled on the Santa Maria Maggiore Basilica in Rome. It survived WWII virtually intact, with only the presbytery sustaining damage, and has been subject to restoration work to brush up the apostles that stand on the wings outside. Note the pre-war tramlines still embedded in the cobbles outside, as well as a stone tribute to Jerzy Popiełuszko – the Solidarity priest murdered by the security services in 1984; he lived in the great big block overlooking the church.
