Basilica of Our Lady of Licheń
With a gold-anodized aluminum dome 98 meters tall and a tower 141.5 meters tall, the Basilica of Our Lady of Licheń is Poland's largest church and one of the largest churches in the world. Its campanile also features Poland's largest bell. The shrine was built in the village of Licheń Stary near Konin between 1994 and 2004, founded entirely by pilgrims' donations. The church is dedicated to Our Lady of Sorrows whose 18th-century icon is displayed in the basilica's main altar.
