## History

[edit]

The first church was likely founded in 1445 by Mściwój Mszczuj. The current church was built between 1861 and 1866. It is a brick building with three naves, oriented with the presbytery facing east, and constructed on a rectangular plan. The roof is adorned with a small tower (a sygnaturka). At the front, there is a bell tower, which houses three bells: one likely from 1768, another from 1777, and a third with no casting date. Inside, there are altars from the 19th century, made by Jan Szczepański from Opoczno. In the side altar, there is a painting of Our Lady of Częstochowa, topped with an Ecce Homo depiction, dating from the late 18th century, as well as a sculpture of Saint Barbara from the first half of the 18th century. Under the stone floor, according to Father Wiśniewski, there is an entrance to a crypt.[1]
