The door made by Andrzej Renes to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Warsaw Uprising was installed in 1994.On the door from the outside, we can see the badges of the Navy and Air Force in the lower quarters. Above them is the sentence PER ASPERA AD ASTRA and the inscription STELLA MARIS. In the upper quarters there are the eagles of the Navy and the Air Force.The church, built in 1701 and designed by Józef Fontana, underwent several reconstructions. After the destruction of World War II, it was rebuilt in the years 1946-1960 according to the design of Leon Marek Suzin. In 1941, the church gained the status of a field cathedral of the Polish Army.
