The church’s history can be traced through its different architectural and furnishing details. The first documented references are to a wooden church in 1325. The new stone building was completed in 1847. The altar features an oil painting from 1769 depicting Saint Lawrence. The stone baptismal font is also older than the new church: it dates from the 17th century and probably remained in its original place during the 1844 fire.

The church can be visited daily before or after Mass. As visits are tied to service times, ask the parish for the current Mass schedule. This will help you plan your visit around the services.

Another architectural example is the Dzieduszycki Manor House. The late Neoclassical building was constructed with funds from the Dzieduszycki family; it was designed by Sebastian Alojzy Sierakowski, a Kraków architect and Jesuit. In the center of the rural settlement also stands a tall, two-storey wayside shrine chapel dating from 1861. These buildings offer different ways to explore architecture and history in Radziszów.

A walk through the Bronaczowa Forest is recommended, among oak, beech and fir trees more than 100 years old. In the northeast of the forest lies the 26.52-hectare Kozie Kąty Nature Reserve, established in March 1989. Kingfishers are often spotted at the forest ponds, although sightings are not guaranteed. The forest, reserve and ponds offer nature enthusiasts various features to look out for when planning their visit.

The Malowniczy Radziszów route leads to Wytrzyszczek Hill. On a clear day, you can see Kalwaria Zebrzydowska, among other places. The hill therefore adds another weather-dependent destination to the forest experience.
