The church dedicated to the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary and St Archangel Michael is the most prized monument of Lask.
The church dedicated to the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary and St Archangel Michael is the most prized monument of Łask, the cradle of the famous family of Łaski. The church was erected in late-Gothic style between 1517-23 with funds of Jan Łaski, the primate of Poland at that time. Baroque elevation and Rococo interior were the results of renovation after a great fire in 1749. The most valuable monument of the church is the marble low relief of Madonna with an Infant coming from the Florentine master’s workshop, Andrea delle Robbia. Since 1531 the image of Madonna has been held in veneration (numerous votives offering to Madonna) and it used to be a venue of pilgrimages.
