Bell weighing about 1000 kg of 1512r

Description

 

In 1512 the local parish priest, Father Jan Ożarowski, the later chaplain of King Sigismund the Old, founded a bell weighing about 1,000 kilos affixed with the inscription dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary. In the middle of the second half of the 19th century, the belfry already featured three bells. At the beginning of the First World War, the tsar authorities took them away into Russia. After the war, only the oldest of them was successfully retrieved and sounded in Garbów again in 1923. In 1937 two new bells were founded. During the Second World War, the oldest and the largest bell was confiscated by the Nazi Germans, who took it down from the belfry and prepared it for the transportation. In the middle of the night, in an action organized by the local teachers, the parishioners stole the bell away and buried it in the slope of the ravine. At present, the Garbów church boasts two bells: one founded by Jan Ożarowski in 1512 and one donated in 1937 by Krystyna Broniewska, sister of the heir Zygmunt Broniewski
