Polish parishes and churches in Chicago. St. Michael the Archangel Church, the vault

The church design is closer to the predominantly German Gothic Revival, while the ornamental blind arcades seem to set the church in the local style. Therefore, the church is an originally solved Gothic Revival structure, with the flexible approach to historical forms characteristic of American architecture.
The interior is illuminated by the light coming through the magnificent stained-glass windows made by F. X. Zettler at the Royal Bavarian Art Institute in Munich. The particularly decorative windows in the transept are among the largest in the Archdiocese of Chicago.
