A Gothic parish church from the 16th century, rebuilt in the 19th century, with a Neoclassical altar from 1862 and a font from 1570.
The Church of St Joseph in Stara Dąbrowa is a parish church built in the 16th century of stone. It is an oriented building on a rectangular plan, in Gothic style. The rebuilding in the 19th century blurred its original features, because that was when new windows and new neo-Gothic brick gables were built. The outer walls are plastered.
In the south wall the original Gothic portal has survived, which is now hidden by a sacristy added later.
The ceiling is flat and boarded, above the entrance stands a choir gallery, and the chancel lies on a raised level. A Neoclassical altar from 1862 has survived, with small columns and a tympanum holding the original oil painting of the Flagellation of Christ. The church also has an 18th-century pulpit with a canopy, a font from 1570 and two 18th-century candlesticks. On the free-standing metal bell tower nearby hangs a bell from 1924.
After the war the church was consecrated as a Catholic one on 5 June 1947, renovated in 1957, and has been a parish church since 1959.
