The Church of All Saints, designed by Henryk Marconi, was built over 30 years and was finally completed in 1895. Construction was carried out (with interruptions) under the direction of Henryk Marconi, Walerij Felix Zygadlewicz and Zygmunt Kislyanski.
This neo-Renaissance building with two towers is distinguished by its richly decorated facade with clear horizontal and vertical divisions. In addition to decorative window openings, cornices, pilasters and Ionic semi-columns, the entire facade is decorated with bas-reliefs and statues. It is crowned by a tympanum with a bas-relief depicting Christ the Lord, created by Jan Wojdyga.
The church, reconstructed after the war, has preserved several original paintings, among which the most famous is the "Crucifixion" by Franciszek Trevisani, located in the main altar. Among others - "Resurrection" by Henryk Sierdzki and "Baptism in the Jordan" by Wojciech Gerson. On both sides of the church, arcaded cloisters have been preserved.
In 1994, in front of the entrance to the church, at the top of the monumental stairs leading to the interior, a statue of Pope John Paul II was installed.
In the interior of the temple there are dozens of memorial plaques in honor of the fallen soldiers of World War I, various units of the Home Army, and the Warsaw Uprising.
