THE CHURCH OF ST. NICOLAS AND ST. DOROTHY IN KWIATKOWICE

Summary/Abstract: The church in Kwiatkowice, founded by Kacper Puczek and his wife Anna of Sarnów, was built in the early 17th century. It is an example of a temple founded by members of the nobility, with the intention to became the mausoleum of the Puczek family. The church has undergone only slight alterations over the three centuries of its existence, and has a well-preserved equipment from the 17th and 18th centuries. In the church there are three altars: the main altar dedicated to St. Nicholas and two side altars devoted to the Holy Trinity (south) and the Heart of Jesus (north). The main altar was built in the 1830s, probably at the initiative of Konstancja Kossakowska. The altar dedicated to the Holy Trinity was built in the early 17th century. Two wooden polychrome statues of Madonna Immaculata and St. John of Nepomuk are from the beginning of the 17th century. The church building is testimony to the position and wealth of Kacper and Anna Puczek, who decided to build a brick temple, equipped according to trends prevailing in this area in the early 17th century.
