St Louis' Church in Namyślin

St Louis' Church in Namyślin is a Neo-Gothic branch church from the early 20th century, standing in a village in Boleszkowice municipality in Myślibórz County. It belongs to the parish of St Anthony in Boleszkowice.

From a half-timbered church to Neo-Gothic

The present church was built in 1903-1904 on the site of an earlier half-timbered church from the 17th century. The new building is Neo-Gothic, oriented, and laid out on a rectangular plan. The chancel is smaller and narrower than the nave, and the sacristy stands beside it. The gable of the east wall of the chancel is decorated with blind windows.

A square tower with a conical spire topped by a ball with a cross adjoins it on the west. On three walls of the tower there are clock faces, with pointed-arch windows above them. The tower holds two bells, from 1882 and 1920. Inside, on the west wall, there is a gallery with an organ case.

After 1945

After the Second World War the church was consecrated as a Catholic church on 22 September 1946. Today it is a branch church of the parish in Boleszkowice, where the Church of St Anthony of Padua stands.
