The Church of Our Lady of Częstochowa in Grodziec was built at the end of the 19th century in the Neo-Gothic style by the Prussian authorities for the Hussites inhabiting Grodziec. It stood on the site of a wooden temple from the second half of the 17th century. After World War II, in place of the forcibly displaced population, repatriates from Biłka Szlachecka near Lviv and from Jezierna near Ternopil settled in the village, for whom the church was renamed a Catholic temple. New residents from the Borderlands brought with them a Baroque painting of the Mother of God from the parish church in Biłka Szlachecka. Currently, it has been placed in the main altar and immediately became an object of cult, particularly among Siberians. Due to this fact, the church began to be considered the sanctuary of the Mother of God – Patroness of Siberians in the Opole region. Around the church, there are Stations of the Cross, which were built in 2003, on the 10th anniversary of the coronation of the image. Practical information: The church is made available to visitors before and after mass. Free admission. Sightseeing time: 1 hour. Parking spaces on Częstochowska Street.
