Church of St Josemaría Escrivá in Morzyca

The church in Morzyca in Dolice municipality was built in 1606 at the foundation of Joachim von Wedel. It is dedicated to St Josemaría Escrivá. It is entered in the heritage register. Destroyed during the Second World War, it was rebuilt and today serves as a filial church of the parish in Kolin.

Renaissance form

It is a hall building in the Renaissance style, built of fieldstone and brick, on a rectangular plan, with a gable roof and a chancel closed with a straight wall. Most striking are the ornate gables on the east and west sides: with three levels of cornices with a dentil frieze, blind arcades of various shapes and seven pinnacles. The windows are square and set in surrounds, and the entrance portal is in a side wall. The interior is covered by a wooden beamed ceiling.
