History

[edit]

The first church in Prudnik was built of wood in 1279.[4] The current one was designed by Johann Innozenz Töpper. It was built in the years 1730–1738. In 1779 the church and tower roofs were damaged in the fire by Austrian blasting. After World War II the church was taken over by the Dominican Order.[5] Dominicans left Prudnik in 1999.[4]
