St. Roch's Church in Parzęczew

The Church of St. Roch is a wooden cemetery temple belonging to the Parish of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, St. Anne, and St. Adalbert in Parzęczew, located within the grounds of the cemetery of the same name. Built at the end of the 16th century in the village of Ignacew Parzęczewski, it was moved to its present location in the 17th century. Between 2000 and 2001, the church underwent restoration, during which the wall boarding and the shingle roof covering were renewed. Architecturally, the church features a log structure, consists of a single nave, and is oriented. It was constructed using larch wood. The chancel, smaller than the nave, is closed off in a three-sided manner and adjoins a sacristy. Covered with a gable shingle roof, the church is crowned with a square belfry. The front part of the belfry has a roof covered with sheet metal. The interior of the church is adorned with a Baroque main altar from around 1660 and two Rococo side altars from the 18th century. It also houses Baroque confessionals and pews, as well as numerous sculptures dating back to the 17th century. Notably, the interior of the nave is covered with flat ceilings, and the temple is equipped with a music choir, highlighting its cultural value. The Church of St. Roch is not only an example of interesting architecture but also a place with a rich history, making it a significant element of local heritage.
