Church of St Joseph in Bielin

The Church of St Joseph in Bielin, built of fieldstone, dates from the turn of the 15th and 16th centuries. It is a filial church of the parish of Christ the King in Witnica.

Gothic portal and alterations

It is a hall building on a rectangular plan, without a separate chancel or tower, covered with a gabled roof, with small pinnacles at the corners. The west wall has kept its original Gothic portal of profiled brick, closed with a pointed arch. The east gable, decorated with blind arches, was rebuilt in the 18th century, and in the 19th century the church was altered and a sacristy was added on the south side. The interior is covered with a wooden ceiling, and the west wall has a choir gallery. The grounds are surrounded by a stone wall, on which stands a monument with a sculpture of an angel dedicated to Adelaide von Kahle. Consecration as a Catholic church: 1947.
