Saint Andrew church in Brok

Saint Andrew church stands as a brick structure with barrel vaults over the nave, groin vaults in side chapels, and a narrower chancel ending in an apse.

Constructed between 1542 and 1560 under Bishop Samuel Maciejowski initiative, the church received additions including a northern chapel in 1620 and underwent reconstruction after World War II.

The interior features Baroque altars, including an 18th-century brick altar with sculptures of Saint John of Nepomuk and John Cantius, plus a painting of Christ.

The church maintains its position in the center of the market square, surrounded by an oval cemetery and accessible to visitors interested in religious architecture.

During reconstruction efforts in the early 1970s, workers discovered an original wall painting dating back to the initial construction period of the church.
