Church of St Joseph, Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Ińsko

The Church of St Joseph, Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Ińsko is housed in the building of a former mortuary by the cemetery. The church was blessed on 19 March 1945, on St Joseph's day, and adapted to Catholic liturgy. It belongs to the Ińsko deanery of the Szczecin-Kamień archdiocese.

Extension of the building

To increase the floor area, in 1953-1954 two sacristies and a chancel were added, and later a choir. In 1976 a permit was issued for building a bell tower, and it was used to raise a tower, thanks to which the choir was enlarged. The bell tower proper was built in 1983 on the south side of the church.

Stained glass

The most interesting element of the interior is the stained glass made in 1993 by Mr and Mrs Kisielewski of Szczecin. In the chancel are images of Our Lady of Sorrows and St John, and in the side windows, among others, the Miraculous Catch of Fish, Jesus Blessing the Children and St Brother Albert. The largest window in the front gable was glazed in 2001 and shows the Holy Trinity, the coat of arms of Archbishop Zygmunt Kamiński and the coat of arms of Ińsko. The former flat ceiling was replaced with a boarded barrel ceiling.
