Summary/Abstract: The parish church of St. Lawrence in Rossoszyca, built of larch wood at the end o fthe 18th century, is one of the most valuable historical monuments in the Szadek region.Over the past two hundred years it was renovated many times. The year 2016 was the 600 anniversary of the establishment of the Rossoszyca parish, which gave an impulse for undertaking in 2014 yet another, thorough renovation of the church, which is still going on. The present church building is the third one erected in this location. The first one existed in 1770–1773, to be replaced by another church, which burnt down in 1781.The third building, erected in 1783, has survived until today. Apart from the history of the church , the article outlines the restoration work carried out since 2014.
