Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary |
Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary
It is a three-nave building with rectangular closed chancel and tower on the axis of the western facade and a chapel on the north wall of the nave. Inside the church ceiling and pillars are decorated with stucco decorations. The main altar, late Baroque, with life-size statues of St. Peter and Paul from the eighteenth century,  was rebuilt in the second half of the nineteenth century. In the passage from the nave to the chancel is a marble baptistery with a metal lid from 1613.  On the west wall of the nave and on the south pillar are visible embedded in the walls, marble epitaphs. The oldest of them - the epitaph of black marble, dedicated to Father Jerome Russocki comes from 1681.  The rest come from the nineteenth century. In the church are stored also three post-Dominican images from the eighteenth century: Our Lady of the Rosary, St. Jack and St. Dominic feretory and vestments - also from the eighteenth century and antique chalices. Presently in the place where there is a Church of the Assumption of the Blessed  Virgin Mary , probably as early as the twelfth century there was a wooden parish church, which was burned during the tartar invasion. Destroyed by fire, rebuilt many times the church received its final form in 1881 - after the last reconstruction.
