Over 3,000 Churches were built in Poland between 1945 and 1989, despite the socialist state\'s hostility towards religion.
Neither legal nor prohibited, the construction of Churches during this period engaged the most talented architects and craftspeopl.
Their fantastic designs broke with the state\'s rigid urbanism.
Built by parishioners from scavenged or pinched materials, the Churches were at once an expression of faith and a form of anti-government protest.
We call this Day-VII Architecture.
