The Baroque Church of John the Baptist

Description

 

The Baroque Church of John the Baptist was erected in the years 1764–81 and most likely designed by architect Józef Gringenberg. Bishop Jan Kanty Lenczowski consecrated the church in 1779. It is a one-nave late Baroque church with a semi-circular (barrel) vaults. The chancel features two sacristies. The church elevation is richly moulded and the church interior boasts seven Baroque altars. The high altar is ornamented with the painting of Madonna of Częstochowa with Child and the image of St. John the Baptist (on the valve). The side altars feature images of Our Lady, St. Anthony and St. Paul (on the left hand side) and paintings representing St. Bartholomew, Peter the Apostle and the scene of the Presentation of Jesus at the Temple. The church also boasts many 18th-century sculptures: the figures of Jesus and four Evangelists are placed on the pulpit, and the sculptures of little angels and prophets ornament the main and side altars. The church also features a 1908 Hartman organ with ten ranks.
