St Anthony of Padua's Church in Kłodzino

St Anthony of Padua's Church in Kłodzino is a medieval hall church whose origins go back to the mid-13th century. It belongs to the parish in Rosiny, in Przelewice municipality.

Granite walls

The church stands on a rectangular plan measuring 22.2 by 11 m. The lower parts of the walls are made of granite ashlar laid in 6-7 courses, and higher up undressed stones were used. Initially it had no tower. The tower was added in the late Middle Ages and was rebuilt at the end of the 17th century. In its lower part, walled-up arcaded passages can be seen. In the east wall a walled-up pointed-arch portal and traces of three windows have survived, and the gable is decorated with three pointed-arch blind windows.

Furnishings

Inside are a late Baroque pulpit altar, a granite font from the turn of the 14th and 15th centuries, a 19th-century organ gallery and a brick floor. The ceiling is covered with modern paintings, and in one of the windows is stained glass donated in 1914. A 15th-century bell hangs in the tower. A walled cemetery adjoins the church.
