What periods does the church represent?
The church was built in the 15th century and rebuilt in the 18th century. A Baroque altar and a Baroque pulpit from the first half of the 18th century have been preserved inside. The building history and furnishings therefore relate to different periods: the church itself dates back further, while the altar and pulpit belong to the Baroque period. This distinction helps put the information into context without reducing the building and its furnishings to a single date.
What is known about the cemetery and the mill?

Another point in time is the miller’s house at the Kiełpino Mill, built in 1926. These details sit alongside the church’s history, but they tell a different kind of local story. The cemetery is a historic site dating from the 15th century, while the miller’s house has a specific construction date in the 20th century.
What does the bronze hoard find tell us?
A hoard discovered in the village of Kiełpino contained 42 bronze items. It consisted mainly of parts of horse harnesses, as well as several body and clothing ornaments.
