Culture

The present-day Church of Saint Catherine of Alexandria in Miedźno was built between 1872 and 1877 on the site of a burned-down wooden church. The parish dedicated to Saint Catherine of Alexandria in Miedźno was founded as early as 1425. The Church of Saint Catherine of Alexandria is a landmark at 2 Ułańska Street, 42-120 Miedźno. Its polychromes, created in the late 19th century, were discovered during renovation work and restored by Professor Jerzy Nowosielski. The church has a 19th-century Neo-Gothic high altar with a Baroque painting of Saint Catherine of Alexandria from the first half of the 18th century. The documented historic furnishings also include a monstrance from 1620 and a tower clock.

The Miedźno cemetery chapel was built around 1840 by the Miączyński family. The voivode Miączyński and his family are buried in its crypt. Around 1900, there was a Chapel of Saint John in Miedźno; the original chapel was destroyed in 1939 and replaced by a new building in 1945. A historic linear rural settlement structure, known as a “rzędówka”, has also been preserved from the cemetery to the intersection with the road to Borowa.

Miedźno’s documented cultural heritage includes a mill from 1952–1953, described as a preserved example of combined wooden and solid construction. A mass grave of insurgents is located in the Miedźno cemetery. The historic cemetery also contains a symbolic tomb commemorating people murdered during the occupation and a granite plaque bearing the names of 135 murdered residents from Miedźno, Mokra, Kołaczkowice, Wapienniki and Izbiska.
