Church of St Michael the Archangel in Dobrzany

The Church of St Michael the Archangel in Dobrzany was built in 1782-1784 to a design by the architect David Gilly, on the site of an earlier, medieval church. Material from the demolition of the castle in Szadzko was partly used in the construction.

A neoclassical form with a 19th-century tower

The brick church, plastered in a light colour, has a rectangular plan stretched along a north-south axis, and a hipped roof. In the 19th century a four-sided bell tower was added on the west side, with rusticated corners in the lower part and pilaster strips higher up. A porch and a sacristy were added to the side walls.

Interior

Inside stand a late baroque altar and an 18th-century pulpit moved from the church in Odargowo. The ceiling above the nave is decorated with a painting showing the Last Supper. After the Second World War the church was blessed as a Catholic church on 23 September 1946, and in 1951 the parish was established.
