It presents the history of sacral architecture, with particular emphasis on the years 1945-1989.

Problems related to churches erected as "catechetical centers" and smaller filial churches are also mentioned. The presented issues concerning the chosen archdiocese may constitute a representative example of sacral architecture in Poland.
