Which experiences suit your stay?

Which historical landmarks shape Jerzmanowice?
The parish church of St Bartholomew already existed in 1338. The new church was consecrated on 21 June 1884; construction had begun 57 years earlier. These dates mark different points: the parish church’s early existence and the later consecration of the new church building.
Another feature of the parish church is its historic baptismal font. It may already have been used to baptise the parish’s first members; this connection remains a possibility.
The Chapel of St John the Baptist adds its own date to this history: Bishop Oborski consecrated it on 4 July 1688. Its status as the oldest brick building in both the parish and the municipality, as well as its protected heritage status, offers a different point of reference from the parish church’s long chronology.
