how to get there

The log church, oriented towards the east, is a single span structure (the chancel and the nave are of the same width), with a rectangular floor plan, and a small transept as well as the side chapels.

 

Inside there are flat ceilings. The chancel entry is enclosed with a semi-circular arch, with rood beam supporting a Baroque crucifix. The furnishings mainly date from the 17th and 18th century. The mannerist high altar was brought here from a Capuchin church once standing on Michałek Hill in Blizne, after it was dismantled.  Other features include four Baroque side altars, a Baroque pulpit, a stone Gothic baptismal font, and a stone holy water font from the 1500s.
