Collegiate church in Tum

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Collegiate church of St. Mary and St. Alexius in Tum is a Romanesque church of granite built during the years 1140 - 1161 in Central Poland (about 3 km east from town Łęczyca). The church was built in opus emplectum technique and has the form of an aisled basilica with galleries, twin-tower west facade and two apses (west and east). Round turrets at the east were added during reconstruction after WWII. The church resembles the Wawel Cathedral founded by Władysław I Herman. It was rebuilt in 15th and at the end of 18th century and burned in 1939; reconstruction works ended in 1954. The main (north) portal is sculpted and dates back to the first half of 12th century.
