The Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus is a historical Roman Catholic building in Bydgoszcz, Poland.

The construction site for the German Catholic church was chosen at Elisabethmarkt, then a city square.

The church was built from 1910 to 1913 with funds from the government, papal gift and contributions of German Catholics in Bydgoszcz.

He was at the time considered a specialist in the construction of churches, such as in Poznań, Szczecin and Legnica.

The church was built with Baroque Revival architecture features, including a basilica with an apse, a transept and an internal great domed rotunda.

[clarification needed] Despite his blindness, he became a famous composer with studies and recognition from many universities (Poznań, Leipzig, Munich, Berlin and Paris).

For his great services to the Church, Pope Paul VI honored him in 1964 with the Medal Pro Ecclesia et Pontifice.

Inside the dome, in addition to the bells, a clock tower strikes the hour and the half-an-hour.

Rich Baroque motifs adorn both church interiors and façade: cartouches with writings, volutes, flaming vases, putti, rococo painting ornaments, and festoons.

Interior sculptures, such as the Atlas of the matroneum organ and the four groups of angels in the transept, were created by Frank Vauschutz from Charlottenburg.

The instrument has two keyboards and one pedal, with a pneumatic tracker (air being forced through a noiseless fan).
