This true jewel of sacred wooden architecture is more than six centuries old. Jan Długosz mentioned its existence and it is also confirmed by a document from 1415. The monument that we can admire today is not exactly the same. At the beginning of the 16th century, the wooden church was destroyed by fire, but a new one was quickly built on the same place. It is this structure that has survived until today witnessing the five centuries of history. It is not surprising, therefore, that in 2003 the church was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List, next to such famous monuments as the Castle of the Teutonic Order in Malbork, the Old Town in Cracow or the Royal Salt Mines in Wieliczka and in Bochnia. This picturesque, single-nave church is oriented, which means that its altar is pointing east. The altar alone is a stunning example of woodcarving art and dates from the 16th century. The visitors are always delighted with the chapel of Guardian Angels, which was added to the building in the 17th century. The ridge turret, i.e. the tower housing the smallest bell, comes from the same period. Angels are everywhere, all over the church, and their various representations show how vivid was the faith of the local community. A watchful visitor will even come across a one-of-a-kind depiction of an angel with … a moustache. The Church of St. Michael the Archangel is filled with art from the Baroque period. This sacred place of worship was used not only for the purpose of spiritual contemplation or religious rituals, but its role was also to educate those who could not read or write in the field of theology. Moving representations of the successive stages of the Passion of Jesus of Nazareth, of the Last Judgment or of the Art of Dying served as a Baroque guide for the faithful. They taught how to go through life following the teachings of the Church, in order to go straight to heaven right after death. This visual teaching is presented on the polychromy adorning the walls and the ceiling of the nave. Inside, one can admire works of art older than the church. Wooden figures of Holy Virgins are the remnants of the altar dedicated to them and date from 1410. The picture of Our Lady placed in the left altar is reportedly a gift from King John Casimir himself. The Gothic sculpture of Our Lady with the Child is the oldest treasure in the church and dates back to around 1380. A moment of reflection on the art, which survived almost 700, is an experience that cannot be overestimated. The beauty of the Church of St. Michael the Angel was remarked, among others, by Stanisław Wyspiański, who made a sketch of this place. Miron Białoszewski, on the other hand, dedicated one of his poems to it.
