Church of the Good Shepherd in Głazów

The Church of the Good Shepherd in Głazów is a Neo-Gothic church of 1892, today a filial church of the parish in Sulimierz. It stands on a hill enclosed by a wall in the centre of the village of Głazów in Myślibórz municipality.

The building

The building is of brick, on a stone foundation, laid out on a rectangular plan. On the east it is closed by a three-sided chancel supported by buttresses, with a sacristy added. The stepped east gable is decorated with blind niches, and the windows are set in pointed, stepped recesses. On the west stands a three-storey tower with a pointed spire, on which pointed-arch windows and clock faces can be seen.

Interior

The interior is covered with a wooden boarded ceiling. On the west wall is a choir gallery on posts, and under the chancel arch hangs a crucifix. It was blessed as a Catholic church on 20 October 1946. In Myślibórz, about six kilometres from here, stands the Collegiate Church of St John the Baptist.
