Church of the Holy Trinity

Local name: Kościół św. Trójcy

Wooden, larch church from around 1500. Single-ridge roof, steep, covered with shingle. Interestingly constructed tower, which is not much higher than the ridge. It was here, on January 24, 1588, that Grand Crown Hetman Jan Zamoyski was to pray before the bloody trial of Maximilian III Habsburg's army near Byczyna.

The temple, now carefully restored, has a richly equipped interior. Its most valuable element is the Renaissance polychrome covering a flat vault. Next to the figure of the Mother of God and the saints, the unknown artist placed images of musicians in period costumes and secular symbols, including Jagiellonian eagle. Noteworthy is the wooden triptych located in the main altar, depicting the Virgin Mary with the Child, Saint. Barbara and Saint. Nicholas. Next to it is a Gothic sculpture depicting God the Father on the throne. On the walls there is a late Gothic polychrome with the stations of the Passion. The whole is complemented by baroque side altars.
