Niedatowana relacja o kościele parafialnym w Rembieszycach ze zbiorów Archiwum Diecezjalnego w Kielcach (trzecia ćwierć XIX wieku)
Undated report on the parish church in Rembieszyce from files of the Diocesan Archive in Kielce (third quarter of the 19th century)

Summary/Abstract: The Roman Catholic parish in Rembieszyce (Świętokrzyskie Province) was established in 1438 on the initiative of the Odrowąż family – owners of Rembieszyce and nearby villages. Historical sources confirm the presence of two parish churches in the Old Polish period: the oldest one, built before 1438, was destroyed as a result of old age; the second, erected in 1751 thanks to the efforts of the local parish priest Ludwik Sakiewicz, burned down in the 1890s in unknown circumstances. In the years 1798–1799, the contemporary collator Franciszek Saryusz Wolski founded the third temple, which has survived to this day in an almost unchanged form, being a valuable monument of wooden sacred architecture in Poland. The published document presents the appearance and condition of this sacred building in the second half of the 19th century, describes its decor and equipment, tombstones, and it names consecutive priests working in the parish. This source significantly enriches our knowledge about the local temple and the parish itself.
