The Church of St. Hyacinth in Legnica is Roman Catholic, neogothic Parish church built in the year 1908. It was originally a Protestant church.

When the Red Army captured Legnica in 1945, the soldiers used the church building as a stable. Later, the building was renovated and became a Catholic parish church in 1968, until 1945, it was Protestant. In 1977, the parish got permission to build a rectory, its roof was finished in 1979.

A miracle similar to that of Sokółka took place in Legnica. On Christmas 2013, A priest dropped a consecrated host on the floor, which was then placed into a dish with holy water to dissolve. After two weeks, a red substance appeared on the host. Two independent studies found human DNA and heart tissue of a person in a state of agony.
