Parish Church

Description

 

The Parish Church Complex of St. Joseph the Betrothed of the Blessed Virgin Mary, St. Michael the Archangel and St. Margaret was erected in the years 1667–82 and founded by Jan and Andrzej Firlej. It was consecrated by Bishop Stanisław Szembek on October 15, 1690. In 1750 a Baroque presbytery was erected at the initiative of Father Józef Zagórski, and a bell tower was built in 1862. The church is a one-nave building with an irregular vestibule, modelled on the churches in the Lublin Baroque style. The chancel features two sacristies (the first one is in the church’s body and the other one is annexed), and the church fronton boasts two towers. Baroque in style from the outside, the church has a Rococo interior. Historical wooden altars featured inside are particularly worthy of attention: the main altar is a Baroque construction with Rococo ornaments and paintings of Madonna of Częstochowa (dating from 1920), the Holy Trinity, and the Holy Family dating from the 18th century. Two Baroque side altars flank the rood beam: the altar on the right features the painting representing the Holy Communion of St. Stanislaus Kostka, and the one on the left – the painting of St. Francis of Assisi. The altar of St. Anthony (Baroque, early 18th century) is located in the nave on the right, and the altar with a figure of the Crucified Jesus Christ (Rococo, 18th century) is located on the left. The organ with six ranks dates from the late 19th century. The church boasts many other interesting historical paintings and tombstone plaques. The noteworthy tombstone of Rafał Amor Count Tarnowski dating from 1803 represents a white, winged Angel of Death.
