Krasowice, a village in the Opole voivodship, attracts by its name alone. As Heinrich Adamy, a German geographer, who was one of the first to research the region from this perspective, was trying to prove, the name of village comes from the Polish word “krasić” meaning to decorate, to embellish. He also mentions the translation of this name into German: “Schönfeld” – supposedly trying to render the beauty of the area. In direct translation it means a beautiful field. Over time, the Polish name was Germanized and became “Kraschen”. In the language of our western neighbours, it has no particular meaning. The church is oriented, that is, built on the east-west axis. It stands out from far away, due to its wattle and daub construction: wooden frame preserved with black finish and the filling plastered white. The gable roof is covered with fish scale tiles. These are ceramic or cement tiles which are flat and have a rounded edge on one side. The name of the roof refers to the Polish word “karp” meaning a type of fish (a carp). The roof, covered this way, reminds of the flank of an animal covered with scales. Inside the church, we will find a Baroque altar, which, according to art historians, dates from the first half of the 18th century. In its central part, we will see the painting of Our Lady of Częstochowa. On both sides of the presbytery, upstairs boxes were built in extensions and the transept has a wide gallery with a balustrade. Balusters are not only vertical elements supporting the guardrail of a balustrade but – in Polish, a baluster is called “tralka” – the same word is used to refer to the stem of a glass or a candlestick. This helps us understand why these two types of objects have often similar shapes, even though they have different functions. Inside, it is worth paying attention to the Baroque pulpit from the first half of the 18th century. Also, the organ and the benches come from the same period. The church is crowned with a post-frame square tower with weather-boarding and topped with a tent roof in the shape of a pyramid covered with metal sheets. At the very top, there is a banner bearing the date of 1911. Inside the tower, there is a bell which is more than 450 years old. It has the following inscription: “Sebastian Gotz goss mich” (“I was cast by Sebastian Gotz”).
