Church of St Stanislaus in Góralice

The Church of St Stanislaus, Bishop and Martyr, in Góralice is a granite church from the turn of the 14th century, thoroughly rebuilt in 1873-1875 in neo-Romanesque style. It stands in Trzcińsko-Zdrój municipality and is entered in the heritage register.

A medieval wall, a 19th-century body

The church is oriented, a hall church on a rectangular plan. It was originally built entirely of granite ashlar. During the rebuilding in 1873-1875 the original walls were levelled down to the lowest seven courses of ashlar in the side walls and part of the east wall, and the rest was built up from erratic boulders. The windows and gables were completely rebuilt, a five-sided apse was added on the east side and a tower on the west. The tower is of stone in its lower part and of brick higher up, with a spire topped by a ball and a cross. The ground floor holds the entrance portal, and higher up are the clock faces.

Interior

The interior is covered by a wooden beamed ceiling. Above the entrance is a wooden gallery with an organ case, and 19th-century pews have survived. Of the former Baroque altar only two ornaments in the form of auricular scrolls remain. After the Second World War the church was consecrated as a Catholic one on 17 April 1946.
