Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in Kierzków

The Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in Kierzków is an 18th-century church, built on the site of an earlier medieval church, surrounded by a stone wall.

A body of the 18th century

The church has a rectangular plan with a semicircular apse on the east, a gabled roof and windows with pointed arches. On the west a four-sided tower adjoins it, wooden in the upper part, with a spire with a ball and a cross; its ground floor has a round-arched portal. A sacristy was added to the south wall. In 1925 the church was rebuilt and the outer walls were plastered.

Interior

The ceiling is flat, of beams, above the entrance stands a wooden gallery supported on posts, and above the sacristy a box with a wooden balustrade. In the 18th-century altar a figure of Christ stands today; a 19th-century wooden font with gilded decoration has also survived. On the stone wall around the church is a monument to those who fell in the First World War. The church was blessed as a Catholic one on 1 December 1946.

In the area lies, among others, the church in Tetyń.
