The late Renaissance three-nave church in Kurów

Description

 

The late Renaissance three-nave church in Kurów was built in three stages. The first founder, Piotr Kurowski, erected the church in 1450. In the mid 16th century the side naves were added. The main nave was reconstructed in brick around 1660 at the request of the Zbąski family. The subsequent improvements were introduced in the first half of the 18thcentury by the local parish priest, Father Michał Szajkowski, (he renovated and reinforced the vault with anchor plates). In the second half of the 18th century, the roof was covered with tinplate and the laying of the marble floors was completed. At present, the church consists of the main nave and two side naves. It is worth seeing the original Baroque high altar and seven side altars inside the church.

 

Father Grzegorz Piramowicz, pedagogue, educator activist and Enlightenment writer, conducted his pastoral work in the parish in the years 1775–85. Adjacent to the church is the building of the parish school (curacy) dating from 1738. It is an example of neo-Classical building with straight elevations divided by pilasters topped with cornices and the high mansard roof. The building was rebuilt in the late 18th century, and after the bombing of 1939, it was reconstructed and enlarged in the years 1953–58.

 

The church complex features other historical buildings, such as a bell tower and the neo-Classical presbytery, both dating from the 18th entury. The brick presbytery was erected in the years 1778–82 according to the design by Stanisław Kostka Potocki and architects Chrystian Piotr Aigner and Stanisław Zawadzki. Burnt down during the Second World War, the presbytery was rebuilt in 1945.
